Wanted: Your feedback on archdiocesan strategic draft plan

Criterion staff report

You’ve provided us with input that was used to develop an updated strategic leadership plan for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, and now we’d like your feedback on a draft of the plan.

The Archdiocesan Strategic Leadership Planning Team has been gathering information for the past six months from a wide range of groups representing all areas of the Church in central and southern Indiana.

Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein launched the first strategic plan for the archdiocese after he was installed as archbishop in 1992, and the plan has been updated regularly since then.

A working draft of the plan, which will be used to guide the archdiocese through 2011, is included in this issue of The Criterion.

We’re seeking your input once again as we work to refine the plan. Please read the plan and take a few minutes to respond to the following questions:

  • Does the plan reflect and actively address the mission and values of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis?
  • Are there priorities that are not addressed by the plan?
  • Do you have any suggestions for how the archdiocese can more faithfully meet the priorities set out in the plan?

Please submit your answers by April 11. Send responses by e-mail to criterion@archindy.org or mail to The Criterion, P.O. Box 1400, Indianapolis, IN 46206-1400. Or, respond online right now.

An online version of the questions and the plan are available at www.archindy.org/strategic.

Thank you for taking the time to be part of this important process. †
