The “Parish Survey” completed by the Parish Transition Team on July 1, 2015 is finally here. My sincerest apology for not publishing it in a timely manner. The six (6) general summary of areas of concerns that needed imperative attention then were (and still on going are): (1) Parish and Religious Education Administration; (2) Finances; (3) Ministry Center; (4) Priests; (5) Ministries; (6) Hispanic Ministry.
 
When I was assigned as Pastor in July 1, 2015, Bishop Barnes’ appointment letter provided me a conscious pastoral direction, it says: “As a Church, we are invited by Pope Francis ‘to rediscover the meaning of the mission entrusted to her by the Lord on the day of Easter: to be a sign and an instrument of the Father’s mercy’”.
 
With that pastoral direction, I pastorally took upon myself those six (6) general areas of concerns and reflected on them in the lens of the Parish’s Mission Statement, which states:
     
It’s a long Mission Statement, but I focused myself on the very hope-filled part of it: “visible signs of God’s love”.
 
Now, I am presenting to you the general six (6) areas of concerns from the “2015 Transition Team Parish Survey” and the responses to the concerns. The responses might not be complete but we are ever more engaging ourselves to seeking a better journey to achieving our vision of becoming “visible signs of God’s love”.
