History

prepare for the 3 Millennium
• Nine Year Archdiocesan-wide renewal plan;
Catholic Faith and Life 2000
– Involve every parish organization
– Involve every individual
– Established the requirement for each parish to
develop an advisory board (Parish Council) to offer
input, ideas and reflect the community.
– The Parish’s Voice to the Pastor
Background
• 1998-2000: Saint Bede’s first comprehensive
self study was complete and the very first
Pastoral Plan for this parish began to take
shape.
• 2006: Monsignor John C. Marine, is made
Pastor of Saint Bede the Venerable Parish
• 2009: Under Monsignor’s direction the
Council begins to review the existing Pastoral
Plan
Result
• The Parish Council recognizes that many goals
which were originally established, which
seemed so far reaching at the time, had in
fact, been completed or accomplished.
– Adoration Chapel, Community Center, Establishing
a Youth Ministry…
• As with any effective plan or strategy, the
need to review, revise and re-engage is vital
The Process
• With the dedication and inspiration of our
current Pastoral Council, a journey that began
some 20 months ago, has brought us to this
very day.
The Process
• Values
• Vision
• Mission
• Goals
• Action Plan
Parish Mission
We the people of Saint Bede’s Parish are bonded together
by a common set of Values that are derived from our call
to continue the mission of our Lord Jesus Christ through

Together we share a Vision for the future where we will
become a vibrant parish where all feel welcome:
 All are involved in liturgy and the life of the parish
 All feel a sense of community, caring and love
 All can be served, as we meet the needs of one another
