GRENADA – The members of the diocesan Envisioning Team have been meeting for several months to reflect on the results of the diocesan listening sessions, learn about strategic planning and discern a new set of priorities for the Diocese of Jackson. The work will result in a Mutually Shared Vision Statement and plan.
The team has a draft with three priorities in the works. Wednesday, October 19, members of the team met at St. Peter parish to continue their work. Maureen Smith, diocesan director of communication, attended to present an outline of the strategic plan for communication her team spent several months writing. The Envisioning team then discussed ways to best communicate and implement the plan and the timing for that implementation.
