 Goal – To engage the entire Church of Green Bay in a process of prayerful reflection on:

- Then discern or imagine what God might be asking us to become (Dream Phase)
- Leading to a Diocesan Summit where our discoveries and dreams would lead to the creation of a pastoral vision for the diocese (Design and Destiny Phases).

Advancing The Mission |
|
|
 The Advancing the Mission stewardship campaign was conducted in each parish of the Diocese of Green Bay beginning in 2005. The campaign asked each person to consider stewardship as a way of life and their commitment to prayer, service, and sharing.
Four endowments were established within the Catholic Foundation to benefit Leadership Development, Life-Long Catechesis, Evangelization and Priestly Retirement Care.
More than 30,000 people contributed almost $40 million to Advancing the Mission, making it the most successful campaign in the history of the diocese.
