Overview The East Lethbridge Catholic Parish Assessment Project (ELCPAP) is a comprehensive consultative process through which All Saints Parish is to recommend both a strategy and implementation plan, to Bishop McGrattan, with regard to how the future pastoral needs of East Lethbridge and surrounding areas will be met by the parish and diocese. There will be three key aspects to the project:
ELCPAP was presented in detail to the members of All Saints Parish on January 18, 2023 by Bishop McGratton. A Powerpoint of his presentation can be viewed here. The Bishop and Parish Leadership Team have compiled a comprehensive list of stakeholders with an interest in the future of All Saints Parish. Bishop McGratton is seeking to receive as much feedback as possible from all individuals and groups that have an interest in the future of All Saints Parish. In the following months stakeholders and, in particular, members of All Saints Parish, will be asked to provide their input on the question of making the best use of our resources to provide for the pastoral needs of East Lethbridge and the surrounding areas. |
The Project
It has been more than two decades since decisions were made about the best path forward for the East Lethbridge Parish. Things have changed: demographics of parishioners, maintenance costs for current church buildings, inadequate parking, access to some buildings, security concerns and insufficient space for pastoral education programs and religious formation. To address our current situation, Bishop W.T. McGrattan launched the East Lethbridge Catholic Parish Assessment Project (ELCPAP) in September, 2022. The Project Team is to research and recommend a Parish Assessment strategy and implementation plan based on realistic options, priorities, and evaluation criteria. The objective is to collect stakeholder ideas to shape the future of All Saints Parish and to provide dedicated church space to address pastoral needs. You are invited to help discern our path ahead by sharing your thoughts, ideas and concerns for our future by filling out several surveys to help in this process. As Bishop McGrattan declared at the January 18 public launch of the project, “all options are open.” The key points the Bishop wishes to remind us as we plan for the future are:
