Pastoral Services

Pastoral Services

The Pastoral Services is at the service of the Archdiocese. Pastoral Service takes direction from the Archbishop and coordinates the work of the pastoral service offices keeping in mind the pastoral plan coming from the Archdiocesan Synod. With the support, participation, and collaboration of our parishes, Pastoral Services is engaged in working towards the development and implementation of the pastoral vision of the Archdiocesan Church.
