You may be aware that we are conducting a comprehensive survey of the entire diocese. The purpose of the survey is to help gauge support for our plan to strengthen our parishes, support vocations, provide strategic growth initiatives for future churches and schools, and bring vital social services to those in need.
 
Bishop Spalding would like to thank everyone who has already taken part in the study. Your participation is extremely valuable to him during this planning process. If you have not yet responded to a survey, you are encouraged to do so. Your input will help the diocese make an informed decision regarding its long-range plans. 
 
We hope to have all surveys completed by February 21, 2020. You may return your survey to the office, or place it in the offertory basket at any of the Masses. 
 
You may also complete the survey online by going to steiergroup.com/survey, clicking on Roman Catholic Diocese of Nashville and entering the password: nashville.
