DMI Survey - Closed & Next Steps

Dear Parishioners,

Thank you all for your support and participation in the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) Survey through Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI). As you know, Bishop Zubik is focused on fortifying our parishes for the work of evangelization and to grow as missionary disciples, so that all people will come to Learn, Love and Live Jesus.

Our work with CLI is just one small piece of Bishop Zubik’s greater vision. The hope is that all parishioners will grow in their faith and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus to begin to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others.

As the DMI Survey has closed, parishes will soon begin the important task of assessing the results. In late Spring/early Summer of 2023, CLI will provide all parishes with assistance in analyzing the results of their survey and interpreting the data.

Over the course of the next three to four years, all parishes in the Diocese will be involved in pastoral planning. The results of the DMI Survey will help parishes create a ‘pastoral plan’ that is centered on evangelization and growing in discipleship. Our pastoral plan, which will focus on three strategic priorities, will enable our parish to shift focus from ‘maintenance-driven’ to ‘mission-driven’ action. All of this will help us grow Mary, Queen of Saints Parish for the future and align all our activity with mission and ministry.

Thank you and God bless you. Now we begin!


In the Sacred Heart of Jesus & the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Fr. Canice
Pastor of Mary, Queen of Saints Parish
