The Diocese of Fall River has begun a process of pastoral planning and renewal of parishes throughout the diocese. Over the next months, members of the diocesan pastoral planning team will meet with various parish communities to help us discover how we can be a more effective witness to the Catholic faith in our local communities. This page is for information regarding the Pastoral Planning Process and, specifically for the local parish communities in the town of Falmouth. Click on documents to the right.
Parish Assembly (June 25th) was a great success!

Thank you to all those who took time to join us for the Parish Assembly on Monday evening - 114 parishioners were in attendance! Our Parish Planning Team gave a detailed update on the “state of our parish” as it relates to sacraments, ministries, finances and planning priorities. Members from Bishop da Cunha’s Strategic Planning team joined us as well, to share how our planning for the future is fitting into the larger strategic planning process that is occurring at all the parshes, throughout the diocese.

As part of the assembly, those in attendance were asked to offer insight on three priorities: A Welcoming Community, Engaging Youth and Reaching out to the Disenfranchised. On one of the documents to the right, (Parish Assembly Discussion Questions Responses) please see the suggestions offered at the tables. These will be reviewed by the Parish Task Force as we prepare to meet with the other local parishes in Falmouth. If you have any additional insights on the three priorities, please click here to fill out our online submission form.

Our discussion also focussed around exploring ways we can collaborate with the Catholic Churches in Falmouth - standing together and having our presence and ability to change lives strengthened by planning for our future, as “The Catholic Community of Falmouth”. The ideas that were shared were fabulous and we are now looking forward to identifying a date in August when representatives from St. Patrick, St. Elizabeth Seton and St. Anthony will come together to kick-off a strategic planning process for our three parishes. Keep an eye out for that date - all are welcome!
