Parish Pastoral Plan Self-Evaluation

Each spring, Parish Pastoral Councils in the Diocese of Brooklyn are invited to reflect upon their ministry, the life of the parish and the progress made in addressing the goals of the parish’s pastoral plan.  This evaluation is also a time to update the parish’s plan to reflect more closely the goals that the parish will seek to live out in the coming year.

We invite our parishioners to view the report the Pastoral Council submitted to the Diocese today. Please download a PDF version of the report by clicking on the link below.

Parish Center Proposal

On June 12, Fr. Ed presented the proposal for the new Parish Center, which will be located in the former Convent at 31 Sidney Place. The new center will include new Rectory offices, an Eucharistic Adoration chapel, flexible meeting spaces for religious education, performances, and parish social events, as well as housing for resident priests. The plans include restoring the stoop to match the neighboring historic buildings, and making the entire building accessible and barrier-free. Please view below a computer-rendered video of the proposal, as well as a powerpoint of the new plans.

As a part of the work being done with the school, the Rectory will be moving to the Convent, which will be renovated into the new St. Charles Borromeo Parish Center. We will be presenting the proposal for the renovations, which were prepared by Gary Maranga of The Design Alliance Architects, and the Building and Finance Committees, at 10 AM this Sunday, June 12 at the church. Please stay after the 9 am or come early to the 10:30 am Mass to find out what it is in store and to provide your input into your new parish center. After the meeting, the illustrations and presentation will be made available on our website.
