*Please help us by participating in a 10-15 minute survey online and share the link with other people you know who are not coming to Mass and therefore haven’t heard. The survey can be accessed through an online link from March 2nd until April 4th. The questions ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback on our parish’s efforts to help you grow and where we need to do better. The link is: https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/yak453.
