Metropolis Worship & Engagement Survey
As part of its strategic goals, the Metropolis of Chicago invites all the faithful (whether active or inactive in parish life) to complete a 10-minute survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SCMDBSQ before April 30. The purpose is for the Metropolis to understand and clarify how people of all ages define meaningful worship and engagement and hope to implement practices that will enhance our collective worship experience. All responses are anonymous. Thank you for your participation!
