Dear Parishioner,
Visitation BVM is on a journey to know, love, and serve Christ 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.
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 here at Visitation BVM. 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 now through April 8th 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. Paper surveys will be available for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online. The paper surveys will be available in the back of church and at the rectory. Completed surveys can be returned to special boxes in the back of church or to the rectory.
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.
Thank you for helping with this important project and please continue to pray for this intention and for the growth and protection of our parish.
