Dear Friends,

Our parish, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, is on a continuous journey to know, to love, and to serve Christ in our community, so that we get everyone who walks through our doors to heaven. In order to achieve this, together we must embrace Christ’s vision for our missionary discipleship so that our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.

One important way of doing this effectively is to know the needs of our parish, i.e., YOUR needs. Last year, we did our own survey. This year, our Bishop has asked all Catholics in our Diocese to share their thoughts with him.

With the help of Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI) and in the spirit of Synodality, you are invited to reflect on your own spiritual growth and provide your perspective on our parish’s effort to help you grow in relationship with Christ by responding to a survey called Disciple Maker Index (DMI). It is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel:

1. We want to know your “Whys”: Why do you come to church? Why do you love our parish?
2. Help us understand you, so that we can offer the spiritual support and programs that you need.
3. And if you want to go deeper, we want to be here to help you grow in your faith.

The survey can be accessed through an online link, which will be shared starting from November 28. (If you need help completing it, please come to the Front Office.) All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole.

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 in advance for helping with this important project, and please continue to pray for this intention and for the growth and protection of our parish.

I love you!
