FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK…
Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Francis de Sales Parish,
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has a plan for parishes and parish leadership that is called the “2020 Plan.” There are currently
203 parishes in the Archdiocese, most of which are administered by priests. By the year 2020, due to priest retirements, there will be
approximately 100 fully active archdiocesan priests. The most effective way for priests to minister in the future will be through the
clustering of parishes.
What is a parish cluster? The Archdiocese of Milwaukee defines a parish cluster as “a grouping of geographically bordering
parishes working together on a shared vision and ministry plan.” In order to ensure that priestly ministry is active in each of our
parishes, the Archdiocese has assessed the sizes and locations of the parishes, and has developed a model of priest assignment and
parish ministry based on the clustering of parishes.
Of the 203 parishes of the Archdiocese, 28 parishes will remain as free-standing parishes due to their size, demographics, and
geographical location. The remaining 175 parishes will be formed into 72 clusters. A cluster of parishes is not the same thing as a
merger. In a cluster, each parish maintains its identity, while sharing the same pastor. Depending upon the size and demographics of
the cluster, it is possible that a cluster might also have an associate pastor. The clusters will also rely on priests retired from fulltime
ministry to help with Mass and the celebration of the Sacraments.
According to the plan, by the year 2020, St. Francis de Sales, Lake Geneva, St. Benedict, Fontana and St. Catherine, Sharon
will be in the same cluster. The Pastoral Councils of these three parishes came together twice in the summer of 2015 and once in the
fall of 2016 to enter into a conversation on how we as a cluster of parishes might best collaborate in the future when there is one
shared pastor. The organization option that we adopted for our cluster plan consists of the following elements:
 One pastor and one associate pastor
One deacon per parish Some shared pastoral staff
A shared, certified Director of Administrative Services at some point in the future Separate offices in each parish
A single school supported by area parishes Separate Finance Councils Joint and separate Pastoral Council Meetings
Trustees attending both Finance Council and Pastoral Council Meetings
Some shared committees
 Proportional assessment for funding for shared ministries
As we move forward into a new model of parish collaboration, it is important to keep in mind that while St. Francis de Sales,
St. Benedict and St. Catherine have been neighbors, the 2020 Plan calls us to be more that neighbors and friends, but to be brothers
and sisters sharing a common bond based on our mutual Catholic faith.
God’s Blessings,
Fr. Jim Schuerman
Queridos Miembros de la Parroquia de San Francisco de Sales,
La Arquidiócesis de Milwaukee tiene un plan para parroquias y el liderazgo de parroquias que se llama el “Plan 2020.” Hay
203 parroquias en la Arquidiócesis, y la mayoría está administrado por sacerdotes. En el año 2020, será aproximadamente 100
sacerdotes activos de la Arquidiócesis, porque muchos sacerdotes se jubilarán. En el futuro, la manera más efectiva para los
sacerdotes hacer su ministerio parroquial sería la de crear “racimos” de parroquias.
¿Qué es un racimo de parroquias? La Arquidiócesis de Milwaukee define un racimo como “un grupo de parroquias en
proximidad geográfica trabajando juntas con una visión y plan en común.” Para asegurar el ministerio sacerdotal en cada parroquia,
la Arquidiócesis ha estudiado el número de miembros y ubicación de cada parroquia, y ha desarrollado un plan para el ministerio
parroquial basado en la formación de racimos de parroquias.
De las 203 parroquias, 28 se quedarán independientes de otras parroquias. La demografía, la ubicación geográfica, y el número
de miembros son factores en la cuestión de quedarse independientes. La otras 175 parroquias serán formadas en 72 grupos
colaborativos (racimos). Cada racimo tendrá un párroco, y cada parroquia mantendrá su propia identidad mientras compartiendo a
un párroco. En algunos racimos, el párroco trabajará con un párroco asociado, también. Adicionalmente, los sacerdotes jubilados
ayudarán con las misas y los Sacramentos.
Según el Plan 2020, San Francisco de Sales de Lake Geneva, San Benito de Fontana, y Santa Catalina de Sharon formarán un
racimo. Los Concilios Parroquiales de las tres parroquias se han encontrado dos veces en el verano de 2015 y una vez en el otoño de
2016 para entrar en una conversación sobre cómo podríamos colaborar en el futuro cuando hay un solo párroco entre las tres
parroquias. La opción de organización que hemos adoptado para nuestro plan del racimo consiste de los siguientes puntos:
Un párroco y un párroco asociado Un diacono por parroquia Algunos miembros de los equipos pastorales
compartidos entre las parroquias Un Director de Servicios Administradores en el futuro Oficinas separadas en
cada parroquia Una escuela apoyada por las parroquias en el área
Concilios de Finanzas separados
Concilios Pastorales con reuniones separadas y comunes
Fideicomisarios asistiendo reuniones del Concilio de Finanzas y el Concilio Pastoral
Algunos comités en común
Un gravamen proporcionado para compensar los ministerios compartidos
Mientras que se mueve en un nuevo modelo de colaboración de las parroquias, es bueno tomar en cuenta que mientras que San
Francisco de Sales, San Benito, y Santa Catalina han sido vecinos amigos, el Plan 2020 nos llama a ser hermanos y hermanas,
compartiendo una unión común – nuestra fe católica.
Que Dios los bendiga,
Padre Jim Schuerman

FAITH WITH A FACE - KEN ETTEN
Ken Etten has been a parishioner at St. Francis de Sales
for about 35 years. He has been an important part of the
history of St. Francis de Sales as well as pillar of the Lake
Geneva community, generously donating his time and
talents by sharing his knowledge of architecture and design.
A young architect in the ‘70s and ‘80s, he worked for
two other firms before teaming up with Ron McCormack to
start McCormack+Etten/Architects LLP in 1992. “I’ve
always had an interest in history and historic buildings,
including my home here in Lake Geneva...which was built
around 1855.”
He’s done a lot of projects on that home and has been
the Chairman of the Lake Geneva Historic Preservation
Commission for 20 years. His firm has worked on a number
of historic structures including the Riviera, the Geneva Lake
Museum, Horticultural Hall, a number of downtown retail Ken and Diane enjoying an event in the Parish Center.
buildings, several lakefront estates, and more! Ken and his
wife, Diane, have two daughters, Emily and Ashley and have lived in Lake Geneva since 1983.
Ken has served in many volunteer positions at SFDS, including the past 20 years with the Buildings and Grounds
committee! He has taken part in a number of “hands on” projects including the remodeling of the old Convent into
classrooms and helping to build the upper playground. He participated in a lot of school parent volunteer positions
when his daughters were in grade school at SFDS including playground duty, working in the kitchen for fundraisers,
and serving on the school board. Probably his major contribution was acting as the architect when the Parish Center was
built in 1993. He designed it, tweaked it, and oversaw the construction. “...The best part of being an Architect is seeing
people using and enjoying a building that you were a part of creating and reminding yourself that this started as an idea
in your head!”
For many years the School Gym served as the gym,
cafeteria, and Parish Hall for both school and parish events,
causing major scheduling problems. Building a Parish Hall
had been discussed for a number of years, and Father Dave
Braun took the lead to start a capital campaign. While there
were several conflicting points of view (the need for a new
school gym vs. a parish hall), Fr. Dave always emphasized
that we were a “faith community” and that our highest
priority was to provide gathering and meeting spaces to
serve those within the parish and the community. “The
Parish came together and raised over $1 million to build the
current Parish Hall and Father Dave’s dream became a
reality, and, as demonstrated by its constant use, fulfilled
his vision of serving the St. Francis Community.”
Most recently, Ken has been working tirelessly on
Groundbreaking Parish Hall 1993: l to r—Mike Black,

to

historic church returned to its original character and style.”
How does his Catholic faith affect his life? “In my
personal life, it guides me in how I treat my family and other people I know and meet. In my professional life, it
impacts how I deal with my employees, clients and tradesmen. I often think of when my daughter Emily went to
Marquette University and the first time I saw their school motto---BE THE DIFFERENCE. Making a difference in
other people’s lives and in the world around us is the best way to put our faith into practice!”
Thank you Ken, for “being the difference” in all that you have done and continue to do for St. Francis de Sales
Parish!
