When the parishes completed their long range plans and prepared the Collaboration/Reconfiguration suggestions, a Deanery Planning Committee was set up in each of the eight deaneries.  The committees were comprised of the Dean as well as a representative selection of pastors and laity.  These committees meet in order to review and summarize the various suggestions from the parishes for realignment of the parishes and offer further recommendations regarding deanery restructuring.  Each deanery committee was to complete its work and submit their summaries and suggestions to the Diocesan Planning Committee.

The Diocesan Planning Committee was the final committee to review all the deanery materials, which synthesized the recommendations, and established a time line for the implementation of these recommendations.  This diocesan committee, like the deanery planning committees, was-- and is--  representative:  all eight deans are on this committee as well as the Vicar for Clergy, Vicar for Diocesan Services, Chancellor, and selected religious and lay people from the eight deaneries.  Currently it continues to review suggestions from pastors and parishes and works on continuing reconfiguration that will then be given to the Bishop for his approval.
