Disciple Maker Index SURVEY
-
-
Our parish is on a journey to know, love, and serve Christ as a parish community. Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.
Almost three years ago, every parish in the Diocese of Pittsburgh participated in the initial Disciple Maker Index (DMI) which invited parishioners to reflect on where they are on their personal journey of discipleship and gauge the effectiveness of the parish in supporting that journey of faith.
The Diocese is now launching the second DMI and we need your voice once again! By participating, you are helping our parish align its strategies and renew our planning goals to fully embrace Bishop Eckman's vision of growing in faith and charity through the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole.
THE SURVEY WILL BE OPEN FROM ASH WEDNESDAY THROUGH PALM SUNDAY
Take the DMI survey by clicking the link.
If you prefer a paper copy, you may pick up your survey after daily and Sunday Masses. They will be located In the vestibule of each of our churches. You can also download a copy below. To submit the completed paper survey, please seal it in an envelope and drop it off in the Saint Scholastica or Saint Joseph offices or mail it to:

2023 DMI Survey Results
CTK parishioners originally took the Disciple Maker Index Survey in March 2023, and 499 surveys were submitted. A one-page parish summary report was published in the bulletin in August 2023 that provided information such as:
· How many parishioners completed the survey and the overall response rate
· Key parish strengths and opportunities for growth
· Summary of key responses
These results were used by the parish Envisioning Teams, our pastoral planning leadership body, to begin the work of pastoral planning.
In addition, a Diocesan summary report was released the weekend of August 26/27 that shows a snapshot of the DMI Survey results for the entire Diocese of Pittsburgh.

Vision Statement
Consultation with the Envisioning Team resulted in the following vision statement:
Christ the King Parish, a faith community that seeks to rediscover, reconnect and recommit to all that is good and holy, will pursue a vision whereby we learn those words, understand their meaning, and make them real in our journey to God. To that end our vision will include three priorities/goals intended to help grow Christ the King Parish. The vision will focus on (1) an outreach to those who regularly pray with us at Mass; (2) an invitation and a welcome to those who are searching; and (3) an active engagement by everyone in the corporal works of mercy as taught by Jesus in the Gospel.
Our vision must dare to ignite Christ the King Parish with the fire of the Holy Spirit. It must embolden the lay faithful and clergy to think, listen and speak fearlessly. And the vision must forge a future Church that is faithful to her roots while at the same time opening its doors, in the words of Pope Francis, “to everyone, everyone, everyone!”
