Archdiocesan Strategic Planning Process

The Strategic Planning Task Force appointed by Archbishop Nienstedt has the task of using all that they hear to develop recommendations that are guided by the seven principles (published in the March 26 edition of the Catholic Spirit). They will present these recommendations to the Archbishop for his consideration in organizing the Archdiocese for the future.

In the strategic planning process there are five types of consultative meetings organized with assistance from the Parish Services Team. The intention is to be able to say at the end of the process that everybody who wanted to have their voice heard had multiple opportunities to be heard. Most who live in the Archdiocese fit into at least one of these meeting categories.

Apart from the meetings, all are welcome to contribute their thoughts on the future of the Archdiocese through:

• the Archdiocesan website: (there is also a link to the Archdiocese on our website)
• the dedicated voicemail box at 651-291-4435.
• You may also write to the following address:
  • Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis
  • Attn: PST—Planning Process
  • 328 W. Kellogg Blvd.,
  • St. Paul MN 55102

Regional Parish Meetings have been scheduled for September and October but locations have not been finalized. We will provide you with any updates we receive during this process and encourage you to provide feedback to the Archdiocese and ask questions either of the staff here at Holy Name or to those Archdiocesan contacts listed above.
