SMDS holds pastoral evaluation for 2010 and planning for 2011

Father Manny Sarez and twenty eight representatives of the Santa Maria Della Strada (SMDS) Pastoral Council gathered last January 8-9, 2011 at the Field of Faith, Calauan, Laguna to evaluate the parish programs for 2010. Insights gained from the process of determining the SMDS areas of strength and opportunities for improvement served as one of the bases for mapping out plans for 2011.

The Ministries tasked to address the spiritual needs of the Parish, such as Formation, Family and Life, Stewardship, Catechetical, BECs and Youth, will focus on formulating spiritual formation programs, standardizing the formation process and expansion of members. On the other hand, other ministries tasked to address the temporal needs of the Parish, the Social Service, is encouraged to firm up a more strategic livelihood generation program for SMDS parishes. Another ministry, the Public Affairs will co-lead in the implementation of waste management program in our communities.

The planning process ended with an inspiring mass conducted by Fr. Manny Sarez. The Ministry representatives left the Field of Faith, with a clearer direction and a stronger resolve to actualize programs and projects for 2011.
