3. Simultaneous with Chapter Assembly. The implementation of the 3-year PFO will be simultaneous with the Chapter Assembly - only those who have not yet attended a particular 3-year PFO will attend such, the rest will push through with the Chapter Assembly

GENERAL GUIDELINES4. Area of Focus. Although the Pastoral Planning

will involve both the Chapter and Cluster Youth Heads and Couple Coordinators, there are different planning considerations or area of focus for the Cluster and Chapter levels, to wit:

Note: because of the different area of focus, the chapter and cluster level must work hand in hand to ensure that the PFO tracks are carried out to all the members.
