The new Pastoral Plan was launched on Monday November 30th. This Pastoral Plan has outlined three specific goals for the next five years.
1) Develop welcoming faith filled communities relevant to the age we live in. 2) Enable people to deepen their faith and proclaim the Good News of Jesus. 3) Be a catalyst for compassion and justice.
Each of the three goals has a number of specific actions, so that the fruits of the plan are seen, not just in our churches, but also in our communities and in the lives of all who believe in Jesus. The full text of the plan is available on http://www.dioceseofkerry.ie/
