Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am writing to you with a simple and heartfelt invitation.
As your pastor, I desire to know how best to walk with you, support you, and help our parish continue to grow as a community of faith centered on Jesus Christ. To help us do that, I invite you to take a few minutes to complete our Spiritual Needs Inventory (SNI).
This is not a test, and there are no right or wrong answers. It is simply a prayerful invitation to reflect on your lived relationship with Jesus and to share honestly where you find yourself at this moment in your spiritual journey.
Your responses will help guide our parish’s pastoral care, faith formation, and ministries so that we may better serve one another and respond attentively to where the Holy Spirit is leading us.
- Completely confidential
- Takes just a few minutes
- Open to all parishioners
February 7–8 Mass Weekend
As a small expression of gratitude for taking time to reflect and share, we will be gifting up to 400 copies of An Introduction to Prayer by Bishop Robert Barron (one per household) following Mass on February 7–8. This book is especially fitting for those new to prayer, while also offering profound insights for anyone seeking to deepen their relationship with the Lord. It is my hope that it will encourage more frequent conversation with God and a deeper communion with Him.
After completing the inventory, simply show confirmation to one of our volunteers at the table. This may be your confirmation email, checking the box to receive your results (with a correct email entered), or a screenshot of the final message that reads, “Thank you for taking this survey.”
The Spiritual Needs Inventory is open online anytime through Sunday, February 22.
You may complete it now or at a time that works best for you by clicking the link below OR bit.ly/sniatolm
Thank you for your openness, your prayerful discernment, and for being an important part of our parish family. Please know of my gratitude and prayers as we listen together to where the Lord is calling us as a parish.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Michael
Pastor, Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church
