Diocese of Dallas Pastoral Plan 2021-2031
This document, a pastoral letter from the Bishop of Dallas, outlines a post-pandemic vision for the Church and details plans for a Diocesan Synod. The plan aims to embrace an apostolic mission, foster spiritual renewal, strengthen faith, and increase lay faithful involvement across various ministries including immigration support, interracial healing, pro-life advocacy, Catholic education, and vocations. The synod process, initiated in 2021, is designed to be a 10-year process culminating in 2031, intending to develop a comprehensive pastoral plan that responds to the evolving needs of the faithful.
