Prayer for Pastoral Planning
Almighty God, we the people of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester prayerfully look to the future. During this time of pastoral planning, we implore the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us the gifts of wisdom, courage and hope.
​
May we exercise the virtue of prudence by opening our hearts and minds to be good stewards of the legacy of faith inherited from those who built the Church on the prairie, the hills, and in the valleys.

May we exercise the virtue of justice by opening our hearts and minds to assure that the voices of people from all generations, all vocations and all areas of the Diocese are welcomed and respected.

May we exercise the virtue of fortitude by opening our hearts and minds to understand and acknowledge the spiritual and practical realities of our day and prepare for the days to come; and

May we exercise the virtue of temperance by opening our hearts and minds to accept the changes in diocesan, parish and personal life that the Holy Spirit, through this planning process, is guiding us to make.

Under the protection of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, our Mother, may we discern and implement what is best for the diocesan Church and all the faithful of southern Minnesota.

We pray this through Christ, our Lord.

MISSION STATEMENT
St. Joachim Parish seeks to courageously proclaim the Truth and Love of Jesus Christ to all people through Word and Sacraments, and to live the Catholic Faith in loving service to our parish and community for the salvation of souls.
To address our parish needs, we are initiating a fundraising effort which we are calling the Saint Joachim Rectory Campaign. Our minimum goal over the next 3 years is to raise money to build a new Rectory. For more information, please click on the following documents to download and view.

The Diocese of Winona-Rochester is releasing Vision 2016. This draft plan aims to ensure a sustainable future for our parishes, parishioners and priests, as well as the vitality of our Catholic community across our 280-mile wide diocese. Nearly half of our parishes can expect organizational change as a result of the draft cluster plan, and all of our parishes will develop a two-year to three-year Parish Pastoral Plan to create a more sustainable path locally and across the diocese.

We encourage parishioners to learn more about the proposed plan, as well as the review process, in the February issue of The Courier, being mailed to all registered households and available on the diocesan website starting on the afternoon of Feb. 1. The website will also feature a detailed summary of recommended parish alignments, relevant data, and the Vision 2016 Parish Pastoral Plan Guidebook, online at http://dow.org/about/vision-2016.html.
