Dear members of [CHURCH NAME],
Discipleship is a journey we are all on together! As Catholics, we are not isolated in our pursuit of holiness but are part of a community of believers striving to deepen our relationship with God.
In the path of discipleship, we are united as followers of Jesus and bound by our shared dedication to sharing our faith with others, bringing them into an encounter with Christ. As disciples, we are called to bear fruit, as beautifully expressed in John 15:16: “It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.”
Yet, in our pursuit of this calling, we seek to understand how our efforts are bearing fruit and how the parish can best support us all on our journey.
This is why [CHURCH NAME] is inviting all our parishioners to participate in the Discipleship Indicator survey. The survey consists of 20 easy-to-answer questions, and it only takes about five to seven minutes to complete. These questions invite you to reflect on your own spiritual life and relationships, and your candid answers will be instrumental in helping us understand where we are collectively as a parish.
The results of the survey will allow us to measure our effectiveness and determine what improvements or changes can be made to help meet your needs and support your spiritual growth.
The Discipleship Indicator survey will be available online from [DATE] to [DATE]. Please visit our private website at [LINK] to learn more and complete the survey. We are grateful for your thoughtful insights, which will illuminate our path as we strive to bear fruit in unity.
Blessings in Christ,
[Father Name(s)]
