DIOCESE OF ORANGE STRATEGIC PLAN
2018 - 2023
SUMMARY OF DIOCESAN STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Evangelization and Faith Formation: Goal - The Diocese, with its parishes and schools, will act to fulfill its Mission and Vision by promoting a personal relationship with Jesus and the celebration of the sacraments resulting in increased mass participation, expand-ing the number of Catholics actively participating in faith formation and increasing the number of Catholic youth and young adults active in the church. Immediate Goals (1-24 months) Bishop Vann to author a Pastoral Letter, after the dedication of the Cathedral, on the topic of Evangelization and Faith Formation announcing a “Year of Prayer” in 2020 for the Diocese. The letter will emphasize the essential roles of the parishes and schools of the Diocese in implementing the Mission of the local Church. Design and implement a five-year plan for formation in evangelization in the Diocese, including enhancing liturgi-cal life and the Sunday experience at all parishes. Appoint an Advisory Committee to help evaluate and plan for resources dedicated to parish faith formation pro-grams throughout the Diocese. Establish and implement leadership training, team building and coaching for parishes to help promote evangeliza-tion to the faithful, seeking to foster effective evangelization of young adults and to triple, annually, the number of young adults attending and participating in young adult and youth ministries. The Diocese will seek to assist parishes in funding and supporting programs to engage youth and young adults. It will establish and assist in funding regional teams of young adult coordinators and missionaries. It will oversee funding of youth ministers in parishes with financial constraints. The Diocese will provide formation for pastors and parish leaders on the best practices of engaging and evangelizing youth and young adults. As a complement to the above, the Diocese will continue to strengthen the Eucharistic adoration in our parishes, with a goal of round-the-clock adoration where possible. This will provide a means for growth in holiness ad rela-tionship with the Lord for all, and for a strengthening and increase in those responding to the call for priestly vo-cations and consecrated life. Bishop William Johnson, the fist Bishop of our Diocese, actively promoted Eucharis-tic adoration. Christ Cathedral Parish will seek to become the model parish in evangelization and faith formation.

SANTA ESCOLÁSTICA (c. 480-543)
10 de febrero
Lo que sabemos de santa Escolástica lo hemos conocido gracias a los escritos de Benito, su hermano geme-
lo y gran reformador de la vida monástica, fundador del convento de Monte Cassino. Siguiendo el ejemplo de
su hermano, Escolástica fundó el monasterio para mujeres en Plombariola. Puesto que en ambas comunidades
estaba prohibida la entrada a personas del sexo opuesto, Benito y Escolástica se reunían una vez por año en un
punto intermedio para orar y hablar de la vida espiritual. Según las fuentes, durante su último encuentro llegó
la hora de despedirse, Benito tenía que regresar al convento. Su hermana le insistió en que se quedara, pero se
negó. Entonces, Escolástica le imploró a Dios que su hermano permaneciera y la respuesta fue una tormenta
copiosa, de tal suerte que irse era algo impensable. Benedicto reconoció en esta acción no sólo la voluntad de
Dios sino la petición que su hermana le había hecho al mismo Dios que tanto amaban. Tres días después Esco-
lástica fue llamada a la patria eterna. Escolástica valoró las cosas pequeñas y la confianza en Dios. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
EL LLAMADO DE DIOS
La persona que ha sido “salvada” y que ha “oído la buena noticia de salvación” sigue viviendo en un mundo que no ha sido salvado, un mundo tristemente inconsciente de la presencia de Dios. Las lecturas de hoy bosquejan cómo el discípulo se hace presente al mundo. Ese perfil se inicia con Isaías: “Comparte tu pan con el hambriento. . . abre tu casa al pobre sin techo. . . viste al desnu-do” (Isaías 58:7). Los que escuchan la palabra de salvación no son insensibles a las urgentes necesidades de los demás. Pablo le recuerda a su rebaño que él le trajo a Cristo no con elocuen-cia o sabiduría, sino que permaneció con ellos “débil y temblan-do de miedo” en medio de su trabajo diario (1 Corintios 2:3). Finalmente, Jesús dice a sus discípulos que vayan a la desespe-ranza y oscuridad de las calles del mundo y dejen que la luz de Dios brille a través de sus obras buenas. Los discípulos no salvan el mundo. Sin embargo, si noso-tros hemos escuchado la Palabra de Dios y hemos empezado a discernir su presencia, podemos proclamar esa Palabra y traer esa presencia a los demás. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
