Our parishes are on a journey know, love, and serve Christ within our communities. Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parishes can thrive and be a place for all to grow together in faith.
The very first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in! The DMI is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey within our parishes. The Disciple Maker Index 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 March 19th to April 9th 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 Christ. All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole. Within our cluster, we will share each parish link with you a bit closer to the launch of the survey. Paper surveys will also be available for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online.
In this Apostolic Age, we must be willing to be more proactive in our parish efforts to form, train, and equip disciples to grow into missionary disciples. This will allow our parishes to thrive and become a beacon of belonging and hope for our communities.
Thank you for helping with this important project and please continue to pray for our priests and the health of our parish communities.
