AOD Restructuring Plans:
Parish listening sessions
Our two listening sessions were Tuesday May 5, 7 - 9 PM or Thursday May 7, 7 - 9 PM.
Many thanks to all who facilitated and attended our Parish Listening Sessions. Here are some resources that may be helpful as the process continues throughout the archdiocese.
- General information can be found at: restructuring.aod.org. Note: we are in Planning Area 9.
- A “Frequently Asked Questions” section can be found at: restructuring.aod.org/faqs-about-listeningsessions, or use the QR code above.
- Any questions you have may be submitted to: restructuring@aod.org
- At such time when all of the parishes have completed their Listening Sessions, a survey link will be made available by the archdiocese for feedback and will be shared and posted in our bulletin and website.
Info about restructuring from the archdiocese:
"Our restructuring effort is a proactive step toward a more vibrant and sustainable future. Guided by prayer, discernment, and inclusive dialogue, we will focus on three pillars: Vibrant Parishes, Flourishing Priests, and a Mission Ready Church. This process will be transparent, collaborative, and grounded in faith. We invite every member of our community to walk with us — shaping a Church that is spiritually alive, geographically connected, and mission-driven. We encourage you to stay informed, share your voice, and join us in this journey.
As part of the process, we will host a choice of two listening sessions at which you can learn more about the plans and, most importantly, share your comments. In addition, there will be an online option for additional feedback and anyone unable to attend the listening sessions. Every piece of feedback will be received, discerned, and considered as a valuable contribution to this process."
