I'm sure our parish is not the only one needing to go through a paradigm shift in how we operate. For years we have operated as a "Program Parish," with paid professionals in the fields of Liturgy, Youth Ministry, Religious Education, and Hispanic Ministry. We also have a school with 28 teachers. To help me look at the best possible way to manage our sustainability and the revitalization of our parish, a TAG Team (i.e. Trusted Advisers Group) researched and spent 6 months looking into best practices and good business and parish models. We also had a RAG Team (Revenue Advisers Group) made of a number of SWAT Teams looking into specific areas where we could enhance our parish income.
We are now ready to present the decisions we have made to honor the 132 years of our parish's members who have handed on to us the patrimony of dedication and investment in keeping the Catholic faith alive and well in Boulder, Colorado.
All members of our parish and school families are invited to come to our Parish Town Hall Meetings this week. All meetings will be in Jubilee Hall; and all four meetings will be cover the the same information, so just choose the one that is best for you:
Wednesday morning (4/30) at 8:30 AM (for school parents);
Wednesday evening (4/30) at 6:00 PM;
Thursday evening (5/1) at 6:00 PM;
Sunday afternoon (5/4) at 2:30 PM (for our Spanish speakers)
