Dear OLA Parishioners,
Our Lady of the Assumption is on a journey to know, love, and serve Christ in our parish community. Together we are called to embrace Christ’s vision for missionary
discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.
Archbishop Hartmayer has asked each parish in the Archdiocese to reflect on how well the parish embraces that mission - and he has provided us with the means to determine where we are on our journey - the Disciple Maker Index (DMI).
This reflection involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index comes in! The DMI is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at OLA. 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 March 8th - April 6th. You will be asked 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. We will share the link with you a bit closer to the launch of the survey. Paper surveys will also be available for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online.
Thank you for helping with this important project - I believe that it will be a great asset for the new pastor who will be coming in July.
The Survey link will be sent to registered parishioners on Wednesday, March 5th. It will close on April 7th. If you have NOT received the previous email about the survey, please contact Anne Stephens (astephens@olachurch.org) to ensure that you receive the survey link.
Please continue to pray for our parish.
Yours in Mary, Our Mother,
Fr. Jim
