The Chippewa Falls area in northwestern Wisconsin consists of three parishes and a K-12 school system which was consolidated in 1987.  Two of the parishes also serve two additional parishes which are located in more rural settings.  The area experienced considerable growth from 2000 to 2010 and continues to grow at a modest rate.  Chippewa Falls has a strong economy bolstered by distribution and transportation centers along with recreation and tourism at a number of lakes in the area.  The three parishes in Chippewa Falls, in addition to the school system, have collaborated on a number of ministries.  They approached Meitler to conduct a study regarding greater collaboration among the parishes and strategies to strengthen the school system as well as address the facilities for early childhood through grade 5.  The parishes accepted Meitler’s proposal and the Bishop of the Diocese of La Crosse approved the study.  The process included data study, interviews of key personnel and consultative bodies, meetings with parishioners, surveys and work with a task force as well as a planning committee.   The process was completed in June of 2021 following the parishes’ 8-month timeline.  The plan calls for the further sharing of pastors so that two of the three parishes in the City of Chippewa Falls are now served by one pastor and an associate pastor.<\/p>\n

The parishes will be engaged in three significant studies:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A facilities study to develop a master plan for all the parishes and determine improvement or replacement of buildings, including a funding plan;<\/li>\n
  2. A staff study to determine staffing needs and how these positions may be shared both now and in the future; and,<\/li>\n
  3. A religious education program study to explore the potential for the school system to coordinate all programs for children and youth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition, the school system will add a full-time advancement director to grow a stronger third-source funding stream and decrease the amount of parish investment or subsidy.  The parishes also developed a strategy for evangelization and ways to improve welcoming, orienting and engaging new parishioners.  The plan also calls for ongoing discussion on the potential for a merger of the parishes or joining all three parishes under the leadership of one pastor and several associates.  The parishes and school system now have a roadmap for their common futures.<\/p>\n\t
