PARISH WIDE SURVEY – DISCIPLE MAKER INDEX
We are excited to announce that we, along with the other parishes in the diocese, are participating in a parish-wide survey about discipleship conducted by the Catholic Leadership Institute, a non-profit Catholic apostolate that does leadership training and development. We would like as many parishioners as possible to complete a 10-15 minute survey. The survey will be available until March 27 and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback on what our parish is doing to help you grow. It is available online at https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/bbktt5 and in paper format on the table by the wood doors. All responses will be confidential and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole. The survey results will be invaluable to our leadership as we seek ways to best support everyone in their discipleship journey.
