Last weekend’s bulletin included an article by Fr. Chris Martin explaining the “All Things New” (ATN) strategic planning initiative. Fr. Ron read a letter from the Archbishop at all Masses. We have posted a video on the parish website with a message from the Archbishop and information on how to receive notices from the Archdiocese about this initiative.
What can you do?
First and most importantly, pray for guidance for those making the final decisions. Second, be involved by participating in the upcoming Disciple Makers Index survey and the Catholic School Survey for school parents. These surveys will be available to all from March 2 through April 4. They will be available online and in paper form, in 18 languages.
EACH INDIVIDUAL — not household, not couple — is asked to complete a survey. We are encouraging all of those of high school age and older to complete a survey. It is important for our youth to be involved, as the outcome of this initiative will affect the future of the Catholic church in St. Louis.
Our Key Parish Leader* team will be contacting each household to remind them of the importance of filling out this survey.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Fr. Ron, one of the Key Parish Leaders, or me.
Blessings,
Mary
