We Are His Witnesses
On Epiphany, the Cardinal announced the initiation of a pastoral conversion program – We are His Witnesses – to prepare the Archdiocese for the changing landscape the Archdiocese is facing in her mission.
The very first step in this process involves a detailed assessment of each parish including her physical plant, personnel, financial health, and, most importantly, her effectiveness in transmitting the Gospel. 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 BMT Parish. The Disciple Maker Index is designed to:
•. Invite you to reflect on your journey of discipleship.
•. Enable parish leadership to make data-driven decisions.
•. Help you grow in your faith.
The 10–15-minute survey will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide your perspective on our 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. The DMI survey will open for responses on Saturday, April 26. You can access the online survey here. Paper surveys are available in the church vestibule and the Chapel of the Saints for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online. If you need to complete a paper survey, you can return it directly to the parish office or you can bring it to Sunday Mass; we will have a box in the Chapel of the Saints where you can place it. Every individual parishioner, 16 years of age or older, should participate. All surveys must be completed by Friday, May 26.
Thank you for helping with this important project. Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so the parishes of the archdiocese can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.
