Holy Redeemer will be participating in a parish survey about discipleship conducted by the Catholic Leadership Institute. We need your help.
Please help us by participating in a 10-15 minute survey online. The survey can be accessed through an online link from November 21 – December 18 and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback on our parish’s efforts to help you grow. All responses will be confidential and the parish will only receive information about the community as whole. We will share the link with you a bit closer to the launch of the survey.
We are trying to get the highest response rate possible. This information will be invaluable to Msgr. Henneberry and our various ministries as we plan for the future and strive to be the best disciples we can be. We will receive the results next spring/summer at which time we will share what we have learned with the entire parish.
If you prefer a paper copy you may pick up a paper copy of the survey after daily and Sunday Masses. They will be located at all entrances. To submit the completed paper survey, please drop off in the collection basket or at the parish office. To make special arrangements for getting a paper copy, please contact parish office (506-653-6830).
Thank you for helping with this important project.
