Disciple Maker Index Survey
We Are His Witnesses
The Archdiocese of Newark is embarking on a multi-year initiative aimed at providing a pastoral and missionary response to the evolving circumstances within our archdiocese. In Cardinal Tobin’s pastoral letter from January 6, 2025, titled “We Are His Witnesses” he sets out his vision for pastoral planning and invites us to discern the future of the Archdiocese of Newark together with Him. This new pastoral planning process is called We Are His Witnesses and will address the following questions: Where are we today? Where is God calling us to go? How will we get there together? I invite you to read the Cardinal’s letter.
How You Can Help
Saint James Church is on a journey to know, love, and serve Christ better and thrive. We want to hear from each of our parishioners. The Disciple Maker Index (DMI) survey assesses our unique strengths and opportunities. Share your perspective now to help strengthen our parish and better prepare us for the future.

- The survey is open from April 26th – May 25th.
- The survey will take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
- All responses are confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole.
We recommend you complete the survey online. If you are unable to complete the survey online and prefer a paper copy, you may pick up a copy of the survey in the narthex. Please drop off the completed paper survey at the rectory by May 25th.
At Saint James Church, we are blessed in so many ways. Together, we will identify our strengths and opportunities in greater detail as we strive to grow in missionary discipleship.
Please continue to pray for this intention and for the growth and protection of our parish.
