Welcome to the Pastoral Planning of the Brandywine Hundred Deanery, where we share the ongoing efforts and updates of our pastoral initiatives. Rooted in the vision set forth by Bishop William E. Koenig, our pastoral planning process, "United in Christ," is dedicated to fostering vibrant, welcoming, and mission-driven communities across our diocese.
The process began with synodal listening sessions held throughout the diocese, bringing together parishioners, clergy, and lay leaders to voice their hopes, challenges, and dreams for our Church. This inclusive approach has ensured that our pastoral planning is truly a collective effort, guided by the Holy Spirit and grounded in the lived experiences of our faith community.
Here, you will find periodic updates from Bishop Koenig and the Core Diocesan Leadership Team, highlighting the progress and milestones of our pastoral initiatives. These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to transparency, collaboration, and the shared goal of enriching the spiritual and communal life of our parishes.
We invite you to explore the updates and learn more about the ways in which we are working together to build a stronger, more vibrant diocese, united in Christ and guided by the Spirit.
