A SURVEY TO GUIDE RECOVERY MINISTRY


In order to focus on areas that are important to you as we begin the formation of our work in Recovery Ministries for All Saints’, we need your help. We need your feedback and your honesty. You may download survey here, then print out a copy for each individual, 12 years and older in your household. Complete both pages and return it to the box marked “Survey” that will be located in the Parish Office during the week. Please do not fold the pages, and use a blue or black ball point pen for your answers. With the information we gather from you we can better discern your wishes and start our mission into Recovery Ministries. If you have a question, please ask Father Mike or Deacon Ed. Thank you!
