Thank you and an Update
-
Dear parishioners,
Happy Easter!
I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for responding to my call to participate in the just concluded parish survey (Disciple Maker Index or DMI) which was open from February 22nd (Ash Wednesday) until March 31st. We received a total of 235 online responses (36% of our average Sunday Mass going parishioners) plus about 35 paper surveys completed. This is a huge progress compared to the outcome of the 2019 survey (total of 111 of both online and paper responses).
We are now waiting for Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI) to analyze and put these responses together into a report that we can easily interpret. It is our hope that this will provide some information about our parish’s current standing in relation to our mission and vision (which we publish every week in our bulletin, bulletin boards, and can be found on our website). We are optimistic also that the results of the survey would help shape reflections on the direction our parish would be moving in the coming years. Thank you for being part of this by providing your feedback.
Once we receive the report from CLI, my intention is to put together a team of parishioners who would assist me and our parish staff to analyze the results, identify areas of parish strength and opportunities and also discern next steps. As always, my team and I are committed to transparency with this process, and we will update you every step of the way. We are reliant on the Holy Spirit to direct this process, hence a lot of prayers and goodwill is solicited, and would be greatly appreciated.
I will be away for my Annual Training with the Army from May 15 - 30. You will be in my heart and prayers, and I ask for your prayers for me and our Soldiers during this time. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Fr. William and our staff team for your needs.
May the risen Christ bless you with peace!
Fr. Julius
