Partners in the Gospel "Who Are We?" Survey
Last weekend, we held our first Partners in the Gospel One Parish Plan gathering, where participants had a chance to share about the gifts of their individual parishes and the Parish Family as a whole. During this phase of planning, we are gathering information to answer the question, “Who Are We?” We will use this information to inform further decisions about our new parish so it is important to have as much input as possible. If you were not able to attend the Listening Session, please take a few minutes to answer the two questions we discussed by clicking on the survey link below. The survey will close on Wednesday, May 28. To learn more about Partners in the Gospel and understand the Current Realities that are shaping this process, visit:
