Diocese Partners with CLI

Diocese Partners with CLI for Evangelization & Pastoral Planning 
As the final mergers take place in the Diocese of Pittsburgh in July 2023, Bishop Zubik is focused on fortifying our parishes for the work of Evangelization, Hospitality and Mission so all people will come to learn, love and live Jesus.  

To help parishes prepare for this work, Bishop Zubik has partnered with Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI) to support our pastors and parishes in their pastoral planning efforts. CLI is a non-profit Catholic Apostolate specializing in leadership training and evangelization development. CLI will offer their planning tools and resources to all parishes at no cost to the Diocese due to a generous grant from the Lily Foundation.  

Beginning in Lent of 2023, all parishes in the Diocese will participate in the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) Survey Tool designed for parishioners to reflect upon their individual spiritual growth and engagement with the parish. The information gathered from the DMI will help parishes develop a pastoral plan to better equip parishioners to share the good news of Jesus Christ and to grow as missionary disciples. 

Please continue to watch the bulletin for more details on the CLI planning opportunities!
