Parishioners of Holy Spirit, St. Helen, and St. Mary,
Our parishes are on a journey to know, love, and serve Christ as a parish community. Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.
The very first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in! The DMI is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at Holy Spirit, St. Helen, and St. Mary. Each parish will complete their own survey.
Take the DMI survey today.
This survey can be completed on any device and will take approximately 10 – 15 minutes.
The DMI will be open from March 16th until April 13th
Your input helps strengthen our parish.
Results help leadership prepare for the future.
A report of the findings will be shared in the Fall.
Additional help will be available.
We will offer in person help with laptops available at the Holy Spirit office starting Monday, March 17th for all parishes. You can also call the office at (219) 661-0644 to have us walk you through the process or answer any questions. The Holy Spirit office is open Monday through Thursday from 9am – 3pm with the office being closed from 12pm-1pm for lunch. Our Pastoral Associate, Karen Yankauskas, will also be available as a contact if you should need assistance on a Friday. Please email her at kyankauskas.onecatholicfamily@gmail.com with your phone number so she can reach out to you.
Each parish will also be offering paper copies to fill out if that is your preferred method. Assistance with laptops to complete the DMI will be offered after Mass on the weekend of April 5th and 6th.
At Holy Spirit, St. Helen, and St. Mary, we are blessed in so many ways. Together, we will identify our strengths and opportunities in greater detail as we strive to grow in missionary discipleship.
Please continue to pray for this intention and for the growth and protection of our parish.
