PARISH SURVEY
- JUNE 4 TO 18 -
Have your say, St Mary's Parishioners! The Parish Council will
launch an online survey from June 4 to June 18. This is your
chance to speak from the heart, to have your say and to be
heard. Each of us is responsible for our own discipleship, so
everything we do should be oriented to mission and everyone
needs to discover how they can contribute. This survey will
help get us there. To be successful, we need as many parish-
ioners as possible to respond. Results will provide St Mary's
with important information to help us map out a journey to-
wards spiritual transformation. More details to come.
