Stewards of Hope: A Pastoral Plan for the Diocese of Salina


This January the diocese began implementation of a diocesan pastoral plan whose aim is to reinvigorate the faith of Catholics in our parishes. Stewards of Hope places empahsis on various aspects of what it means to be Catholic and a disciple of Jesus Christ over the course of four years.
  • First Phase: The Spirituality of Parish Life (2011)
  • Second Phase: Formation for Ministry (2012)
  • Third Phase: Life and Family (2013)
  • Fourth Phase: To the Whole World (2014)

The first phase, Spirituality of Parish Life lays the foundation for the rest of the Pastoral Plan. It consists of four sections:
  • Section 1: The Call to Holiness - Parish communities find ways to intensify their people's pursuit of holiness.
  • Section 2: Stewardship as a Way of Life - Parish communities help their people become ever more active Christian stewards.
  • Section 3: The Lord's Day and the Sunday Eucharist - Parish communities center their life of faith on celebration of the Lord's Day.
  • Section 4: Evangelization: Proclaiming the Gospel in Word and Witness - Parish communities become more expert in the ministry of evangelization.


Stewards of Hope Committee

Each parish or grouping of parishes has formed a special Stewards of Hope Committee to assist the parishes of the diocese in carrying out this pastoral plan. For our area, this committee consists of members from the parishes of Belleville, Concordia, Cuba and Munden. Over the next four years, and hopefully beyond, we will be collaborating together as a community and Catholic family to foster this universal call to holiness. The first efforts of our Stewards of Hope Committee include the monthly Stewardship Challenges and the special event with Immaculee Ilibagiza. Our committee consists of the following members:
  • Fr. Barry Brinkman, Pastor
  • Steve Heiman, Committee Chair: St. Edward's, Belleville
  • Karen Baxa: St. Isidore's, Cuba
  • Annette Coonrod: St. Edward's, Belleville
  • Mary Kay McEuen: Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Concordia
  • Tony & Lindy Meyer: Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Concordia
  • Nancy Owen: Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Concordia
  • LeRoy & Linda Splichal: St. George's, Munden
  • Ginger Thull: Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Concordia
  • Janet Weber: Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Concordia
