Insight by ACST Catholic
The ongoing journey of discipleship is not a destination but a pilgrimage, with each step contributing to the ongoing formation of individuals as dedicated followers of Christ. It is important for parishes to create meaningful experiences and opportunities for an encounter with Christ. The Discipleship Indicator helps parishes understand the state of the spiritual health of their community and what ministries to change or prioritize by answering these critical questions:
• Is our parish changing lives?
• Is our parish enabling a personal relationship with Christ?
• Are we equipping our parishioners to deepen their faith?
• Are we seeing growth in missionary discipleship
The Discipleship Indicator is a facilitated service consisting of an online survey and consultation on the results, by asking parishioners for prayerful reflection on their personal faith, along with how well the parish is equipping them for discipleship.
TThe survey consists of twenty straightforward questions covering topics such as faith, challenges, parish experiences, and aspirations for spiritual growth. As parish leaders, you invite your parishioners to take the survey online via a unique link–all responses are anonymous. With the data collected from the Discipleship Indicator, parishes can evaluate the state of parish ministries and determine what improvements or modifications can be made to help meet the needs identified through the survey and help.
