Strategic Planning

Strategic planning meeting

Change in parish configuration and in the number of parishes that make up the Diocese of Sioux City is not a new reality.

Father William Schreiber, a member of the Strategic Planning Task Force in the diocese, pointed out that since the diocese was established in 1902, 35 parishes have closed. There have been other changes, too, such as at one point the diocese had 30 Catholic high schools and now there are eight.

This makes him think that long-range planning is not a new concept to the diocese.

WITNESSES OF FAITH: Pilgrims bring WYD-inspired faith to New Zealanders

The closing Mass at World Youth Day on July 20 did not mark the end of the pilgrimage for the Sioux City attendees. They still had another leg of their journey to complete.

Taking to heart WYD's theme, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; Larger image available and you will be my witnesses"
(Acts 1:8), the Sioux City pilgrims, embarked to New Zealand for five days to witness their faith to the people of St. Thomas More Parish in the town of Mount Maunganui.

After going deeper in her faith at WYD, New Zealand gave Allison Youngers of St. Patrick Parish in Sheldon, the opportunity to live it out.

Bishop Nickless’s daily prayer for the Pauline Year:

Holy God, most Blessed Trinity, I love you and I praise your Name. I thank you for all the gifts you give me so freely. 
Teach me your ways, so that I may follow you more closely. 
Help me to see clearly and to love deeply how you are calling me. 
Strengthen my commitment to live your call in holiness and charity. 
Call many good men to serve you in Holy Orders. 
Call many holy men and women to serve you as consecrated persons.
Bless in holiness those called to marriage. Bless your holy people to grow in faith, hope, and love, especially through the intercession of Saint Paul. 
I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
