Strategic Plan

PROJECT SIEMPRE ADELANTE

Project Siempre Adelante, the Diocese of Orange’s forward-looking Strategic Plan for 2024-2029, reignites evangelization through supporting parishes, strategic youth outreach, and a strengthened Catholic school identity, all guided by responsible stewardship and a collaborative spirit. 

Bishop Kevin Vann invites all faithful in our diocese to engage in prayerful reflection and active participation in the components of Project Siempre Adelante, which include: Evangelization and Formation, Youth and Young Adult Outreach, Catholic Schools and School Identity, Governance, Communications and Financial Resources and Stewardship.
