Parish Planning Groups

All the parishes in the diocese planned in Parish Planning Groups that basically were comprised of parishes within their deaneries. However, several parishes chose to work with groups outside their deanery for geographic or other demographic reasons. An asterisk (*) indicates that the Hispanic community of a given parish will participated in planning. ( Chairpersons List, click here)
