A note from our Pastoral Council
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
As we approach the 200th anniversary of St. Patrick – St. Anthony Parish, we want to hear what you think has been going well for our faith community and what could be improved now and into the next 200 years!
Share your experience at SPSA
We are excited to share that the inception of our Pastoral Council created a new way to engage with our faith community, particularly to ensure that the voice of our parish is understood and applied in a meaningful way.
All voices: Adults, youth… everyone
To that end, the Pastoral Council is especially interested in hearing from the many voices in our parish to guide its focus during the next academic year. We want our conversations to reflect your interests. We want to hear all opinions and perspectives on the various aspects of SPSA. Nothing is off the table!
Share about our Franciscan Parish Life
The survey is organized around Five Dimensions of Franciscan Parish Life. At the start of each section is a brief description of the dimension, followed by several statements in which we ask you to indicate your level of agreement or disagreement. There are also a few open-ended questions in each section where you can elaborate on your responses and provide additional feedback, if you like. All responses are optional and anonymous. If you would like someone from the Pastoral Staff to follow up with you, there is a space at the end of the survey to leave your name and contact information.
Anonymous, short survey for all
We anticipate that the survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Hard copies of the survey are available in the church. When you are finished with the survey, please place it in the collection basket or drop it at the Parish Office. If you would like help completing the survey, there will be a Pastoral Council Help Desk at the July and August Community Sundays in the Franciscan Center. If you do opt to respond to the survey electronically, we recommend using a computer, laptop, or tablet in lieu of a phone. Here is the link to use: https://bit.ly/SPSASurvey26.
We will inform the parish of the survey results and what the Pastoral Council will focus on addressing over the next year. This survey will be open until mid-August. We hope to hear from as many parishioners as we can!
Thank you for your time helping to shape the future of St. Patrick -St. Anthony Parish.
Sincerely,
The St. Patrick-St. Anthony Pastoral Council
