Senior Adult Survey

- Get Involved

We often hear people saying that their churches are not providing ministries needed by older adult members. The Church of Saint Monica wants to address these needs and interests. We ask your assistance to get a clearer picture of what is taking place in our parish and what we can do to build stronger senior adult ministries.

The following is a brief survey to help our church obtain information about the needs of older members, women and men 55 years of age and older, and to determine areas of strengths and weaknesses as a basis for developing new ministries.

Once the survey is completed, the responses will be tabulated and presented to the St. Monica community. Thank you for your participation.

PLEASE COMPLETE EITHER AN ONLINE OR WRITTEN SURVEY BY TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 2020.
