6. We need your help! Please help us participate by completing a 10-15 minute Discipleship Maker Index survey.  St. Michael Parishioners go to https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/y949ky

Ss. Peter & Paul Parishioners go to https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/ytc8yy

There are flyers with QR codes in all of the pews at all 4 churches in our Family of Parishes. Please feel free to take a flyer home or to stay after Mass to complete the survey via the QR codes provided. You can obtain a paper copy in the Sacristy at SPP or the Chapel at SM. Paper copies will also be brought to the homebound when communion is brought to them.

The survey will only be January 21-February 27 (printed surveys need returned by February 21) 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.
