Dear St. Patricia Parish Family,

Thank you for taking the time this past Lent to complete the Disciple Maker Index survey. 246 parishioners, which accounts for about 31% of the parish, shared their input on a number of aspects of faith and community life here at St. Patricia. As you will recall, the survey asked questions about each parishioner’s own journey of discipleship and how the parish and the pastor are doing to support you along the way.

We will look to put together a DMI committee from across our parish ministries and together we will take the next few months to review and interpret the results and develop a comprehensive report on what was collectively shared. Following that initial assessment, we will then identify actions to address specific areas of growth – whether it be across the parish or for me, personally, as your pastor.

I am grateful for everyone in our parish for what you have contributed through this survey. It is clear to me that we, as a community of faith, are hungry to grow closer to our Lord and to assist one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. I look forward to sharing more in the coming months and working with all of you to continue renewing our local Church and our beloved St. Patricia.
