From the Pastoral Vision for the Diocese of Charleston
 "The meaning of our whole Christian life, the meaning of our collective effort to be stewards of the Kingdom of God, comes down to a simple attempt to be faithful disciples of Jesus, whom we recognize as the Christ. As the faithful disciples of Jesus Christ in the Diocese of Charleston, and as members of the Catholic Church in communion with the See of Rome, we commit ourselves to allowing the Lord to lead us to holiness of life by: Christian Formation; Prayer and Worship; Stewardship and Evangelization; Building Community; and Social Outreach."
Source: "Lead us to holiness" A Pastoral Plan for the Diocese of Charleston by the most Rev. Robert J. Baker, former Bishop of Charleston - November, 2006 Ministry: A ministry is defined as a group of parishioners (2 or more) who meet and act to live the parish mission and which supports the objectives of one of the six areas of pastoral planning. The specific criteria for determining Ministry status are:
† support the parish Catholic mission
† have identity consistent with one of the six areas of pastoral planning
† have parishioner participation
† the Ministry leader/coordinator must be a registered member
of good standing within the parish
† meet on a regularly schedule basis
† the ministry will be recommended by the Pastoral Council
and approved by the Pastor
† if appropriate, provide an annual report to the parish Council.
