SS Peter & Paul parish is on a journey to know, love, and serve Christ in our parish community. Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place to grow together in faith.
The next step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in! The DMI is a survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at SS Peter and Paul. The Disciple Maker Index is designed to:- Invite parishioners to reflect on their journey of discipleship.
- Enable parish leadership to make data-driven decisions.
- Help parishioners grow in their faith.
The 10 to 15-minute survey can be accessed via this online linkfrom March 5 to April 20 and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide your perspective on our parish’s efforts to help you grow in relationship with Christ. All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole. We will share the link with you a bit closer to the launch of the survey. Paper surveys will also be available for those who do not have the ability to complete the survey online.
Many of you may recall that our parish completed this survey back in 2018. The retake of the survey provides an opportunity to assess how our efforts in Next Generation Parish and other ministries and services have impacted the collective experience and spiritual journey from the perspective of our parishioners.

Discussion: What will the future Church look like? March 30 at 7 PM in the Parish Center
There is a growing chasm between how our secular society views the world and how the faithful perceive it. How do we as Christians respond? Can we operate in business-as-usual mode, or is a fundamental change needed in the way we spread the good news to others?
Most people don’t realize Christians have a much more compelling understanding the world – both the natural and the supernatural. Join us as we discuss how the Church, Archdiocese, and parish need to approach our mission differently in the current world.
For more background and context, you may read From Christendom to Apostolic Mission: Pastoral Strategies for an Apostolic Age. To order the book, which has been recommended by Archbishop Perez, click here. But please come for the discussion even if you don’t read the book.

Check out the Ministry Cafe - April 5-6
Are you tired of just giving up chocolate for Lent? Would you rather do something meaningful like getting more involved in parish life and living out your Catholic faith?
Please join us after all Masses on April 5-6 to explore ways Jesus may be asking you to share your gifts and talents or to just connect with other parishioners on your spiritual journey.
Grab a donut and some coffee and meet members of our more than 25 parish ministries as they share the impactful and engaging things their groups are doing.
Children and families are welcome as always on our Donut Sundays. And we'll be there after the Saturday vigil too!
