SJN Pastoral Plan Survey 2025 – Saint John Neumann

St. John Neumann Mission Statement:
“We, the faithful of St. John Neumann Catholic Church, commit ourselves to celebrating and giving witness to the presence of God in our midst by living the Gospel to its fullest. May we do all things in the spirit of St. Francis de Sales with compassion, humility, and gentleness.”

We are currently reviewing and refreshing our Parish Pastoral Plan (PPP) to carry us to our 50th anniversary in 2029! Even as parish staff and members of the Parish and Finance councils are beginning the process of reviewing our present PPP, we invite your suggestions through our parish wide survey to help us to determine how we together can continue to make good use of our God-given time, talent, and treasure in our daily efforts at “Living Jesus” in all aspects of parish life at St. John Neumann.

Directions: There are 22 questions, which are required to submit the survey. If the question does not apply to you or you don’t have an opinion, please select “N/A.” If it is a fill-in-the-blank question you cannot answer, please just type “N/A.”
