As we continue our journey in faith, we hope you have had a chance to look at Archbishop Zinkula’s video message concerning the results of the Disciple Maker Index as it relates to our archdiocese as a whole. Thank you to those who participated. We heard from 22,000 of the faithful, which offered one of the most comprehensive glimpses we have ever had into the life of faith in our parish communities. This is more than just data, however. The information provides signposts from the Holy Spirit, pointing the way forward. We invite you to share the video with your family and friends as we walk together on this path of renewal.
With these results in mind, the Archbishop has begun working with a group of priests, deacons, and lay leaders to help determine the best ways in which to nurture our God-given gifts, create vibrant and sustainable pastorates, and align our resources to our mission.
Our journey in faith is not about simply maintaining the Church – it is about renewing the Church, together, for the sake of our mission. It is about building a Church that is ready to do this not just today, but for generations to come.
Look for more information soon! Thank you for your continued commitment to our Catholic faith. Together, let’s build something beautiful for the glory of God and the good of His people.
