PMP Core Team Workshops

To prepare for Parish Mission Planning, your Core Team is required to attend one of the Essential Core Team Workshops. This streamlined training will be 3 hours and includes a 5:30 pm dinner. We will cover the why, what and how to launch and successfully complete a Parish Mission Plan. You will receive a comprehensive manual with streamlined tools and easy to understand instructions for each key position on the Core Team. The Core Team is the Pastor/Pastoral Leader, a Team Facilitator, a Technical Representative, and a Communications Liaison. If your parish is connected to a school, then a School Representative should attend as well.

Dates TBD
