We are Disciples: Established, Anointed and Sent in Christ. This theme, inspired by 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, contains the basic elements of our Synod’s implementation. We are a people called into discipleship. We have heard this call and have chosen to follow the Lord, and therefore, we are established by faith in Christ; we are a people anointed in the Holy Spirit through our Baptism and Confirmation and hence configured to Christ, and; we are a people sent into the world by Christ to bring the Good News and to help build the Kingdom of God.
The three priorities around pastoral planning for the vision of the Archdiocese are:
- Forming the Baptized as Missionary Disciples.
- Passing on the Faith to the next generation and to others.
- Reaching out to others especially those in need and those on the peripheries.
