As you may have heard at Mass or read in the bulletin, the Diocese of Worcester is partnering with Catholic Leadership Institute to listen to parishioners, better understand the strengths and opportunities within our parishes, and help Bishop McManus and future diocesan leadership plan for the years ahead. The goal is to listen well to the people of our diocese and gather credible information that can help guide our diocesan leadership. The Disciple Maker Index (DMI) gives each parish an opportunity to understand its own life and vitality while also contributing to a broader picture of the diocese.
The DMI is designed to:
Invite parishioners to reflect on their journey of discipleship and experience of parish life
Help parish and diocesan leaders understand strengths and opportunities
Provide information that can inform pastoral priorities and future planning
The DMI survey closes on November 22. We encourage you to participate honestly—sharing both what is going well and where there are opportunities for growth. Broad participation will help ensure that the information reflects the whole parish community.
We are blessed with a wonderful parish community, dedicated volunteers, and many opportunities to pray, grow in faith, and serve. Your perspective will help us understand those strengths more clearly, identify opportunities for growth, and contribute to the discernment taking place across the Diocese of Worcester.
The online survey will take approximately 10 minutes.
