DMI Survey and Next Generation Parish Update

We want to again thank everyone who participated in completing the Discipleship Maker Index Survey. We had a total of 921 surveys completed.

We look forward to receiving the results of the survey and sharing the information with youthis coming late in the summer or early fall. The Parish Pastoral Council is currently reviewing the Pastoral Plan that was developed in 2020-2021. When the DMI Survey results are available to us, we will work with our Christian Leadership Institute consultant on a new Pastoral Plan, which will reflect the work of the Parish Pastoral Council and incorporate the DMI Survey information.

As we envision our future together, we are participating with the team from the Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI) over the next four years to grow into a Next Generation Parish (NGP). The NGP initiative is a four-year experience aimed at transforming the future of the Church through innovative and dynamic accompaniment that helps parishes meet the challenges of our time through visionary models that foster spiritual maturity,
share leadership, off er a vibrant Sunday experience, and embrace a missionary impulse.

From our survey results, CLI will provide our parish with a process to assess our greatest opportunities and strengths, develop a plan to move into the future, and cultivate a deeper missionary spirit within the community. This is an exciting time, growing together as disciples of Jesus!
