Criterion staff report

The Archdiocese of Indianapolis is beginning to gather information to be used in its next strategic planning process.

The first step is to get feedback from the people that make up the Church in central and southern Indiana.

With that in mind, The Criterion is looking for people of faith to share their stories about the blessings of being Catholic in the archdiocese.

Following is a list of questions to begin the conversation:

  • What are the blessings of the Catholic Church in central and southern Indiana?
  • What are the strengths of our character as the Church of this time and place?
  • How are we growing together as the Church in central and southern Indiana?
  • What is best about our Church?

Please take a few minutes to share your best experiences of being Catholic. Answer any or all of the questions. We will summarize the responses, and report on them in a future edition of The Criterion.

An online version of the questionnaire is also available at www.archindy.org/blessings. Log on to the Web site to complete the process.

Please submit your answers by Nov. 12. Thank you for taking the time to be part of this important process.

Send responses by e-mail to criterion@archindy.org or mail to The Criterion, 1400 N. Meridian St., P.O. Box 1400, Indianapolis, IN 46206-1400.†
