 PARISHIONER SURVEY RESULTS 

A parishioner survey was recently distributed in the bulletin to be completed by May 24.  This survey was conducted by the Pastoral Council to get recommendations on improving our parish. 

To date, twenty-nine (29) completed forms have been received.  Of these, four had very critical comments.  Six had comments and recommendations to aide in the spiritual growth of our parish.  All comments and recommendations are taken seriously and steps are being taken to address the concerns and to make our parish of around 2,500 registered families. Still we are committed to making positive response to the comments and recommendations. 

Areas of need that will continue to be addressed with the help of all  parishioners include: 

Eucharistic celebrations, especially during the weekends

Community Welcoming

Religious formation and Adult Education

Community support

Ministry Opportunities

Stewardship

And more.

 Recommendations to serve the needs of our parish community are always welcomed.
