A Request from Fr Steve:

Be part of a project to help Catholics grow as missionary disciples.

Our faith community has a great opportunity! Through our input we can help Catholics grow in their faith and become more committed disciples of Jesus. Paulist Evangelization Ministries (www.pemdc.org) is developing the Catholic Discipleship Profile™ (CDP) and has asked us for feedback at this stage of the CDP development. This pastoral tool engages Catholics in a personal assessment of how they are living as disciples and then provides individuals with opportunities for spiritual growth. 

How you can help. You can take the Catholic Discipleship Profile today and provide valuable feedback to Paulist Evangelization Ministries. Click here to learn more about the CDP and then spend about 20 to 30 minutes to respond to the statements. Your responses will be kept confidential.

A benefit to you and to our parish. Because helping parishioners grow as missionary disciples is so important, Paulist Evangelization Ministries’ is offering us two “Thank You” gifts for participating in this project.

A benefit to you personally. By taking the CDP now you will receive a free ticket to take the final version of the CDP next spring when it is developed--which will include a Profile Report specifically for you for your reflection. You can sign up to receive this gift by completing the last item in the survey when you take the CDP by September 30, 2020.  

And benefits to us as a parish. Once the final version of the CDP is up and running in spring 2021, the website will provide options for 1) individuals to take the CDP and receive their Profile Report, 2) a person to discuss the Profile Report with a trusted friend or spiritual advisor, 3) parishioners to talk about their CDP Profile Reports in small groups, and 4) our parish to use the CDP Parish Report for pastoral planning. We will be able to use any or all of these resources on the CDP website free of charge for one year.

After prayerfully considering this invitation, click here to learn more about the CDP and then take the CDP survey today!
