Pastoral Plan Objectives for the London Deanery
The London Deanery set for itself the following objectives to further the goals of the Diocesan Pastoral Plan.
On Pentecost Sunday, 2004, Bishop Ronald P. Fabbro, C.S.B. promulgated a Pastoral Plan for
the Diocese of London. In the months that followed, each parish, deanery and diocesan office
developed concrete and specific five-year objectives. Please visit the Pastoral Plan page on the
diocesan website for further information.
