Vision

The DPO reports to the Pastor and works closely with him to effectively bridge mission and management within a Catholic parish context. The DPO will provide leadership and management for the day-to-day operations and support the planning and implementation for future growth, development, and continuity in pastoral and administrative initiatives.
