Mental Health and Wellness Survey
The Mental Health Ministry invites you to fill out the survey in the bulletin or from the additional survey sheets found in the Wellness Ministry information rack on the corner table in the narthex/gathering area or you may copy the survey form below.
Drop it off in the marked survey box in the narthex/gathering area after the masses next weekend or mail it back to the rectory.
For the ministry to be successful, it is important to first understand our parish’s mental health needs so we can tailor our program to provide the best possible support. Thank you for filling them out.
