Parish Pastoral Planning
In 2023 the Diocese of Covington formed a strategic alliance with Catholic Leadership Institute to help the diocese undertake a long term pastoral planning initiative. As part of that each parish was asked to formulate a pastoral plan that addressed key areas of need brought up in the Disciple Maker Index. The following priorities and goals are Saints Boniface and James' goals.
