. . . . More than 150 parishioners (including 20 former parishioners) completed the survey and 67 parishioners (including 9 former parishioners) engaged in small group discussions. We have a lot of data to assimilate. There is no question, however, that you are passionate about Calvary and its future.
We still have a lot of work to do, but key themes are emerging . . . . .
Read MoreBased on the feedback we received in the survey from parishioners, former parishioners and other members of the community, there were six topics viewed as vital elements of Calvary’s ministry that we want to dive deeper into and discuss in small groups. The goal of these sessions will be to share thoughts (brainstorming) on how we can improve these areas to engage, energize and enlighten our parish and strengthen the community at large.
These six topics will become important pillars in a more vibrant vision that will create opportunities for spiritual growth.
