Anyone who was unable to attend last week's meeting and has been regularly participating in the session can still join one of these three groups. Please spend time reflecting on which group you wish to work in and let me know so I can include you.
GUIDE: I will work closely with each group to explain their focus and objective.
Mission Group
a. Assign three people to begin drafting the Mission Narrative. At meeting 10, you will provide feedback to the author(s) who have taken responsibility to write the narrative (keep this to no more than 15 minutes)
b. Brainstorm objectives for each building block you picked.
c. Begin to prioritize objectives for each Building Block. The goal is to have a small set of options the committee can then finalize at the beginning of Meeting 10.
Finance Group
a. Agree focus areas: options are Church Revenue, Church Expense, Parish Capital. The Benchmark Report may be helpful for reviewing which focus areas show the highest relative opportunity.
b. Begin brainstorming objectives for each focus area that will promote the three building blocks.
School / Education Group
a. Agree focus areas: For school vitality – Mission/Value Proposition, Catholic Identity, Academics, Governance. For school finances - School Revenue, School Expense and how they promote the three Building Blocks.
b. Begin brainstorming objectives for each focus area.
See you all this evening, and again thank you for your time and commitment.
