The following figures have been compiled as a resource for the Diocese of Crookston’s New Life Planning for Mission process. This data provides a quantitative foundation to complement the additional information found in other planning materials, including the Parish Profiles provided to pastors and New Life prayer and formation resources.
This 89-page report will be shared during the parishioner formation and feedback phase of parish-level planning. We encourage all parishioners to prayerfully engage with this information, using it as a lens for reflection and dialogue about the future of our parishes. Together with prayer and discernment, these figures will guide parish and diocesan leaders in developing parish action plans and shaping the diocesan five-year plan.
