Important notes to remember about groupings:
- A grouping is a set of parishes that will plan together in “Renew My Church.”
- For some groupings, the planning process will result in reconfigurations.
- There will be groupings in which reconfigurations will not occur: Parishes in groupings without reconfigurations will be expected to plan for enhanced collaboration among each other and to identify how they may be called to further support parishes in other areas of the archdiocese.
- All parishes in the Archdiocese will be in a grouping.
- The current perspective is that 3-6 groupings could serve as pilots for the parish planning process in Fall 2016.
