What are One-to-One Conversations? One-to-One Conversations are short dialogues, lasting approximately 20 minutes, between individual parishioners about the participants' views about the Church and the parish, the important issues facing the parish, and hopes for the future of the parish.

Who is involved in the One-to-One Conversations? All members of the Parish Pastoral Planning Council will be available to meet with individual parishioners interested in sharing their thoughts and ideas.

Are there specific topics to be discussed? NO. The One-to-One conversations are informal dialogues about whatever the individual participant believes is important to consider in developing plans for the next five years of our parish. We are interested in parish members' thoughts about what is already good, what areas need improvement, what problems they see, what their hopes for the future of the parish are, and what they suggest and recommend be included in our parish plan.

Who can participate? Anyone who thinks of St. Anselm as their parish is welcome to participate. You do not have to be officially registered or even be a regular, weekly participant at Sunday Mass. Since the purpose of these conversations is to find out how St. Anselm can serve even better all Catholics in our community, the opinions of everyone who has an interest in the future development of the parish are needed.

Why is this important? The information gathered through the One-to-One conversations, along with the results of the Parish Survey conducted on the week-end of September 30 - October 1, will provide the core themes to be considered during the rest of the planning process. It will provide the basis for the activities to take place at the Parish Assembly to be held in early December and the development of the Goals and Objectives to be included in the Parish Pastoral Plan to be submitted to the Bishop.
