God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.

The period of collecting feedback on the draft plan of Ministry 2025 ended on June 1, 2016.  Many of the proposed parish cluster leadership groups met and offered more feedback. The Diocese Pastoral Planning Committee is currently going through all of that feedback to see how it can be incorporated into the draft plan. At that point, any modifications to the map and parishes clusters will be proposed and communicated with all pastors around the end of the summer. This fall will begin the parish cluster phase of forming the pastoral plan at the cluster level  More details will be provided at that time.  Ministry 2025, when approved, will be fully implemented in the summer of 2017.
