Thank you for your faithful participation in the Order of Christian Initiation process for children.

As primary educators of your children in the faith, you have a sacred responsibility and privilege in helping them come to know Jesus Christ, to love His Church, and to live as His disciples.

This survey is intended to help the parish evaluate how well we have supported your family and to assist us in strengthening our ministry to children and parents in the future.
