Disciple Maker Index
Bishop Michael T. Martin, OFM, Conv invites you on a journey to know, love and serve Christ in our parish community by assessing our greatest
strengths and opportunities.
The Disciple Maker Index (DMI) is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at Saint Leo. 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 10–15-minute survey can be accessed here: https://portal.catholicleaders.org/dmi/survey/xgcagx
It 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 encourage you to participate as the results will serve to strengthen our parish and better prepare us for the future.
