Saint Richard's GROW Committee continues to meet on a monthly basis. The committee met with the Archdiocesan Pastoral Planning group in mid-April at Our Lady of Grace to begin the process of addressing key initiatives from the recent parish GROW survey results. These initiatives form the basis of a three-year parish vision. Further development of these initiatives will be addressed at meetings in May and later this summer. The GROW survey yielded the following specific parish strengths:
* 83% of survey respondents are highly satisfied with the quality of parish liturgy preaching and music
* 88% are highly pleased with the "welcoming" atmosphere at Mass
* Over 50% of our surveyed adults spend time in service to the parish and local community
* Over 60% of adults are comfortable with their own faith.
These strengths (and many others) contribute to our unique Saint Richard?s Church identity and will assist us as we GROW into our enhanced future.
