A Vision for Active Parish Communities
Where We’ve Been
What we’ve learned over the last few years, will help us understand how to embark on a new journey to live our Catholic faith in new, more outgoing ways.
Key Milestones
2019 – Rural Parish Groupings pioneer new ways forward
As we work together in families of parishes, we have a better understanding to address the decline of available priests and active parish members.
2019 – Unite shows the power of community
This archdiocesan worship and festival event opened a door to new possibilities, uniting thousands of northeast Nebraska Catholics across all demographics.
2020 – Archdiocese Pastoral Conference sets the BIG goal
The goal set by Archbishop Lucas at this diocesan-wide event guides our Journey of Faith. Throughout our work together, we share an overriding goal to become more missional, outward-facing communities by 2026.
2021 – Archdiocese Pastoral Conference encourages active faith
Diocesan-wide progress continues with a focus on habits for living our faith: prayer, compassion, friendship and invitation.
