Together in Faith - Phase II
Letter from Archbishop Vigneron
Together in Faith is a key element of an effort led by Archbishop Vigneron to stabilize parishes and Catholic schools in southeast Michigan as well as the Archdiocese itself. Shortly after he arrived in 2009, the Archbishop appointed a commission of priests and lay leaders to assess all of the assets, liabilities, and cash flows of the Archdiocese and its related entities.

Changing Lives Together
As was accomplished in the first phase of Together in Faith, neighboring parishes will assess their resources and needs in collaborative planning groups through phase two of the Together in Faith process. Some may cluster, merge, or close through the process. Together in Faith and Changing Lives Together are powerful pastoral planning and stewardship development mechanisms now being implemented on parallel tracks to help restore parishes to financial stability and position them for future growth in ministry.
Changing Lives Together is a $135 million campaign to strengthen Catholic parishes throughout southeast Michigan, enhance tuition assistance in Catholic schools, increase support for priestly formation and lay leadership development, and preserve Church ministries in Detroit.
