The draft was prepared as part of a strategic planning effort that the Omaha Archdiocese launched last summer. Officials shared the draft Tuesday and Wednesday nights with representatives of Omaha Catholic schools, said Deacon Tim McNeil, the archdiocese's chancellor. McNeil stressed that the draft represents a "first attempt at discussing possible options." -ARCHIVES- |
