In August 2007, Archbishop Dolan appointed Very Rev. James L. Connell as Vicar for Archdiocesan Planning to develop a long-term VISION for the church on the 21st Century.

"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
(Mt. 28:18-20)

These concluding words of the Gospel according to Matthew present the Church's never-changing mission and call to evangelization. Indeed, every generation of disciples has faced the Lord's challenge within the context of its day and age. We are no different from the disciples of the past.

After more than 15 years and three cycles of archdiocesan planning initiatives, we find ourselves at the dawn of a new millennium in need of a comprehensive plan for Mission and Ministry. VISION: 21st Century will help us articulate a plan for the Church in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and chart our course for the 21st century.
