Pastoral Planning: Bishop Lahey invited the nine Deaneries of the Diocese to hold meetings and reflect upon
where we were in terms of the Pastoral Planning Process, to review the past pastoral planning activities and
provide updates in terms of the situations in the parishes. The Richmond Deanery agreed to meet with parish
representatives on Thursday, April 22nd, 2004 at River Bourgeois. Forty-one people were in attendance at the
meeting. They offered nineteen recommendations and suggestions to the Bishop and his committee. On
September 30th, 2004 the same group met again to review its recommendations. There was a suggestion put
forward that we establish a committee comprised of the following: the chairpersons of the parish councils in
Richmond, the pastor of each parish, a representative from the religious community, and other persons who may
be interested in serving on this committee. This suggestion was accepted and the large committee was then
dissolved. For the nineteen recommendations and suggestions go to www.antigonishdiocese.com/title.htm and
click on "Diocesan Pastoral Planning Reports" then "A summary of this feedback is provided here" then
"Richmond."
