The Diocese of Springfield under the leadership of Bishop
Rozanski has begun planning for an evangelization process
designed to reach out to those who may be disenfranchised in
some way, inviting them to Rediscover their Spiritual Roots. It is
our hope that this process will encourage people to take a fresh
look at our church and faith tradition.
In order for us to plan an effective program we need to hear from
you about your experiences with the church, the strengths you
perceive and the areas which cause you difficulty or may need
more attention.
Please consider participating in and sharing with local family and
friends in an on-line survey now available which will help us
understand these issues. It is open through October 5 to all active
and inactive Catholics, as well as non-Catholics who work and
collaborate with our faith community.
The survey can
be accessed through diospringfield.org, observe.org and our own
website: stthomaswestspringfield.org. Thank you in advance for
sharing your thoughts with us!
