The evangelizing mission of the parish is the constant central spiritual focus that governs the creation and implementation of the plan. Implementation includes shared responsibility and regular accountability for achieving the plan goals. A team of professional trainers and consultants will equip pastors and parish leaders to implement comprehensive strategic planning with an evangelizing perspective. Parishioners are re-awakened to their baptismal call to holiness and mission. Pastor, parish leaders and parishioners listen to each other, discern God's call for their community to carry out the evangelizing mission of the Church and act together to respond to what they discern.
Parishioners gain greater ownership of parish life and mission.
Parishioners are motivated to a greater level of stewardship and participation. Parish Pastoral Councils recognize and support the discerned goals of the parish community. Pastors are given professional support and training in collaborative leadership, delegation and accountability. The ultimate goal of PPEP is to help a parish to focus or focus anew its resources and ministries on the evangelizing mission of the Church in a very intentional and public way, in a way that is highly participative and transforming.
