How Did ENVISION Start?

ENVISION began with a dream in 1999 to develop a long-term pastoral planning process rooted in the faith experience of parishioners. With this dream in mind, Paulist Evangelization Minisries (then PNCEA) conducted research that revealed a need for a parish planning process founded deeply on the evangelizing mission of the Church.

completed a survey of nearly 50 U.S. pastors who spoke of their pastoral planning needs and their hopes for sharing in the mission of evangelization.
called on the expertise of planners and pastors who helped develop an initial process called Parish Planning with an Evangelizing Perspective (PPEP).
enlisted the participation of three pilot parishes, beginning in the fall of 2000.
made modifications based on the experience of the pilot parishes.
