The Pastoral Planning Database has been prepared with the cooperation of the diocesan Department of Infomedia Services. It is the hope of the entire staff of the Diocese of Greensburg that this technology will make it easier to prepare the annual plan for each parish and region. It is the intention of using computer systems to relieve the pastors, moderators, leaders, administrators, and all the participating members of the councils and individual parishes of much of the administrative burden of preparing the plan and provide more opportunity to serve and fulfill the mission of the church and the diocese.
