THE WORK OF PASTORAL PLANNING Important to the work of pastoral planning is accountability. Accountability will allow us to measure how we are doing in achieving the work of the pastoral plan over the next three to five years. The achievement of the pastoral planning goals ultimately measures the success of the plan. In addition to goals as a mechanism of internal accountability to those implementing our plan, it will also be important for us to provide regular communication to you on how we are progressing on the plan and also explaining the actual process of pastoral planning. Look for information about this in subsequent bulletin announcements.
