St. Cecilia is on a journey to know, love, and serve Jesus in our parish community. Together, we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith. Many of us participated in the archdiocesan survey for the global synod during January and February of 2022. Archbishop Zinkula has reviewed the synod report generated by 16,000 household responses. The Disciple Maker Index (DMI) survey is the next step in a process that will lead to new mission and vision statements, and pastoral priorities.
Our next step in this journey involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the survey comes in! This survey invites you to reflect further on your personal discipleship journey here at St. Cecilia. The survey is designed to:
- Invite parishioners to reflect on their journey of discipleship.
- Enable parish leadership to make data-driven decisions.
- Help parishioners grow in their faith.
The 10–15-minute survey can be accessed through an online link from December 5 through January 9 and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide your perspective on our parish’s efforts to help you grow in relationship with Jesus. All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole. We will share the link with you a bit closer to the launch of the survey. Paper surveys will be available for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online. Both the online survey and paper copies will also be available in English and Spanish.
Your participation matters as we embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship at our parish.
Fr. Don Czapla
