Joint-deanery Listening Session
Saturday, February 1 | 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. | Santiago/St. James, Oakland

Come join us at the upcoming joint-deanery listening session for the Alameda and Southern Alameda deaneries.

Last year, the Executive Council of the Diocese of California established a Strategic Vision Committee (SVC) to foster long-term planning for adaptive change in response to the challenges and opportunities facing our Diocese.

The SVC is working collaboratively with Bishop Austin to co-create a strategic vision plan. This work invites the active participation of the wider diocesan community as we prayerfully and joyfully discern God’s promised and preferred future for our Diocese. We are all in this together, and your involvement is essential to our success.
