Dear Friends, 
 Thank you for taking the time this past Lent to complete the Discipleship Maker Index survey. 169 parishioners shared their input on a number of aspects of faith and community life here at Nativity of Our Lord and Saint Gabriel parish. As you will recall, the survey asked questions about each person’s own journey of discipleship and how the parish and pastor are doing to support you along the way. Every parish in the Archdiocese took part in this, and overall participation was considered to have been very high. 
​

Our Parish Council and parish staff will review and interpret the results over the coming months and develop a report on what was collectively shared. We’ll then identify actions to address specific areas of growth. You can access the results of this survey through our website. Online you’ll see the tab marked, “State of the Parish and Discipleship Maker Index.” Follow that to see what people said.

Each summer the parishes in the Archdiocese take up a special collection for a particular cause out in the “mission field.” Groups apply to the Archdiocese for this and those selected are then assigned to parishes. This year the cause selected for our support is the Sapaterre Mission in Haiti. As you know, Haiti has been ravaged by weather events and earthquakes, and many live in extreme poverty. The Sapaterre Mission is focused on providing education for children living in an impoverished rural community. Please be generous in your support of this second collection this weekend. You can also make your donation online via GiveCentral or you can bring your gift next week (special envelopes for this are available on the tables in the back of church). You can visit their website for more information: www.chohaiti.org 
 
 
May your week reflect the encounter with Christ 
we experienced at Mass today!
