Purpose of Survey
Your opinion is vital to the success of your parish. You now have the opportunity to offer your thoughts regarding parish matters via the Disciple Maker Index. This survey also measures spiritual growth and parishioner involvement.
Fr. Pilon, Fr. Jeff, and parish leaders will use your input to effectively plan for discipleship, evangelization, hospitality, and parish activities. The ultimate goal is the necessary renovation of our parishes for the salvation of souls.

Survey Features
- The survey is anonymous and will be accessible for the entire month of October.
- The survey is available in English and in Spanish online and on paper.
- The survey results for Holy Cross, St. Peter & Paul, and St. Theresa parishes will be accumulated separately so planning can be customized to specific parish needs.
- There is a separate online link for each parish's survey and separate paper copies of the survey labelled for each parish. It is very important that you take the survey that corresponds to your parish.

Who Should Participate?
Every person, 8th Grade or older, who is associated with the 3 parishes, Holy Cross School, and/or the Holy Cross CCD Program is encouraged to individually take the survey. Husbands and wives should take the survey separately. The goal is 100% participation. Please spread the word to applicable family members and friends.
* * * * *
Ways to Participate- If you have previously submitted your current email address, you will be emailed an online link to the survey that corresponds to your parish.
- The online survey link for each parish is also accessible HERE on this page. These survey links will only be functional during the month of October. Be careful to click/tap on only your parish's survey link as follows:
- If you need to take the survey on paper, you can pick up a paper copy of your parish's survey in your church vestibule or at the Holy Cross Parish Office. Once you have completed the paper survey, you can drop it off in the paper survey receptacle also located in the church vestibule or at the Holy Cross Parish Office.
NOW is the best time to invite a fallen-away Catholic relative or friend back to Confession and Mass.
