Below is an earlier message from Fr. Doug about our focus groups starting tomorrow. We still have a few slots open for some of the groups. Click the button below to register.
Good afternoon!
Since early last fall, Saint Simon has been engaged in a strategic and pastoral planning process. Thank you again to everyone who participated in the November parish survey (we had a 53% return rate!). The survey provided the Strategic Planning Core Team valuable information about the views of parishioners. To understand more deeply those views, we are inviting you to participate in a focus group.
The purpose of the focus group is to hear and explore your views on a variety of topics and concerns that surfaced through the survey, e.g., spiritual life, stewardship, school ministry, youth and young adults, Christian service, etc. Please consider participating in a focus group. The times and topics are listed on the sign up genius. Space is limited to 15 persons per group in order to facilitate good listening and to ensure everyone has an opportunity to voice their views. Each group will last between 60 to 90 minutes. The groups will be facilitated by an outside facilitator.
If you have any questions, please contact a member of the planning committee listed below. Thank you for your continued support and contribution to Saint Simon. I hope you will consider this important invitation.
Saint Simon the Apostle Parish Strategic Planning Core Team: Fr. Doug, Deacon Mike, Greg Chiles, Dan Collins, Kari Guymon, Chris Kaufman, Andy Manchir, Eric Marasco, Laura Mates, Beth Rutski, Kerry Schlimgen, John Schueth, Ed Stonner, and Julie Williams
God Bless,
Father Doug
