Diocesan Impact Report for 2025 Now Available

October 6, 2025

The Diocese of Des Moines has released the 2025 Impact Report, detailing how the Diocese and our parishes are embracing our strategic mission and vision of sowing God's Spirit by cultivating connections in Christ.

The goal in this first year of implementing our Diocese’s mission and vision was to advance a common path forward with parish leaders and parishioners alike. Our pastoral priorities – that were formulated after listening to you, our faithful people – focused on establishing and deepening our relationship with Christ in all stages of life.

Through this report, we offer you personal, uplifting examples of how we are cultivating connections by serving and leading parishes, by communicating our message more boldly and clearly, and by transforming the culture and efforts within the Catholic Pastoral Center.
