Our cluster purpose is to welcome and inspire the community to share and nurture our Catholic faith through prayer, sacraments, service, and love of God. Our core values are community (understanding, caring and addressing the needs of individuals, couples and families), encouragement (giving hope, inspirations and support to others), excellence (maintaining the highest ministry standards that bring glory to God in Faith Formation, sacred liturgy and community service), and prayer (communicating with God in words, in song and in the silence of one's heart).

The Disciple Maker Index Survey is Open!
Our parishes, along with all others in the archdiocese, are participating in a parish Disciple Maker Index (DMI) survey conducted by Catholic Leadership Institute. Many of us participated in the archdiocesan survey for the global synod during January and February of 2022. Archbishop Zinkula has reviewed the synod report generated by 16,000 household responses. The DMI survey is the next step in a process that will lead to new mission and vision statements, and pastoral priorities.
The DMI is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey at your parish. Click below to watch a video from Archbishop Zinkula inviting you to take the survey.

-Results help leadership prepare for the future.
-A report of the findings will be shared in early 2025
The survey will be open from now until January 9. Paper surveys will be available for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online.
Together, we will identify our strengths and opportunities in greater detail as we strive to grow in missionary discipleship and help craft our common vision for the future.
