The Archdiocese of Atlanta asks each parish to participate in the Disciple Maker Index program. It’s a survey/questionnaire designed to spiritually identify our parishioners’ spiritual needs and desires as part of a faith community. We can then use the results in future parish planning to meet these needs and desires and make our parish relevant to all.  The survey will be available from March 5 to April 6. It can be taken online, is entirely anonymous, and should take 10 – 15 minutes. A link will be provided at the appropriate time. Please consider taking the survey, as your input can help guide the direction of our parish
