The Catholic community in Bettendorf has been prayerfully discerning how best to sustain and strengthen parish life for future generations. Over the past several months, parish leadership and the Joint Strategic Planning Committee have studied the pastoral, financial, and demographic realities facing our community while listening carefully to the voices of parishioners at St. John Vianney Parish, Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, and St. Joan of Arc Catholic School. The documents below provide the full strategic framework being considered, along with supporting information and the results of the parish survey. Sharing these materials publicly is part of our intentional effort to communicate clearly and transparently as this process moves forward. We invite you to review these materials as part of our shared process of prayerful discernment about the future of the Catholic Church in Bettendorf.
