The primary goal of this committee is to promote the parish in a positive manner both within the parish and in the larger community. Through sharing of information this committee creates a sense of trust and belonging within the parish, by keeping parishioners and others informed of ongoing parish activities. Additional responsibilities suggested for the future by the parish planning committee include: arranging video taping of Sunday Masses for shut-ins, more releases to community newspapers, and improved means of sharing inter-committee information in a current fashion.
