Office of Pastoral Planning and Evangelization
Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Santa Fe

Our Mission:
The Office of Pastoral Planning and Evangelization exists:

• Primarily to promote the up-dated Pastoral Plan of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe 2006, particularly in the areas of Consultation and Governance and Evangelization.
• To provide support for the development, training and implementation of Parish Pastoral Councils and Parish Evangelization teams throughout the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.

Our Philosophy:

• That through Baptism all are called to share in the mission and ministry of the Church, especially in the proclamation of the Gospel message, the Good News of Jesus Christ.
• That the laity be enabled and empowered to use their gifts in collaboration with the ordained ministers in promoting the mission of the church and in giving witness to their faith in their respective parishes.
• That the availability of good formation opportunities for growth and development in ecclesiology, spirituality and leadership skills are essential to these tasks.
• That our plans, programs and presence is developed in keeping with the leadership and vision of our Archbishop, the theological and pastoral priorities of our Archdiocese, local tradition, and the needs and leadership within the parishes and deaneries.
• That we support pastors and pastoral staffs and the work of the laity to develop mutuality that allows each to accept the gifts and the contribution of the other.
