Strategic Planning

Change in parish configuration and in the number of parishes that make up the Diocese of Sioux City is not a new reality.

Father William Schreiber, a member of the Strategic Planning Task Force in the diocese, pointed out that since the diocese was established in 1902, 35 parishes have closed. There have been other changes, too, such as at one point the diocese had 30 Catholic high schools and now there are eight.

This makes him think that long-range planning is not a new concept to the diocese.
