DMI Retake Survey
-
-
You may recall a couple of years ago when the parish participated in the Disciple Maker Index - an opportunity to set goals for the subsequent few years.
We will be participating in the next DMI survey to assess those goals with an online survey - open for 5 weeks - between Wednesday, Feb. 18, and Sunday, March 29.
Your feedback will strengthen our parish and better prepare us for the future, as we come together in faith to forge a renewed path that brings hope and Christ's love into our community.
If you need a computer or would prefer assistance from our office staff, St. Conrad office will be available on Wednesdays from 9am to 3:30pm, and St. Paul will be available on Thursdays from after 8am Mass through 12noon. Please call ahead to schedule office time at 724-287-1759 (x 1019 for St. Conrad and x 1007 for St. Paul).

DMI ResultsWe wanted to share the end result of the Disciple Maker Index, the survey you filled out months ago from the Diocese of Pittsburgh, that was ultimately looking for a vision from parishes as they go into the next 3-5 years. The following is what All Saints Parish submitted after our Envisioning Team reviewed your responses.
Parish Mission Statement:
Guided by the Holy Spirit, All Saints Parish is dedicated to spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. As our Heavenly Father extends an invitation into His life, we serve by offering ourselves through liturgies and ministries for the purpose of growing more in love with Jesus and helping save souls.
Parish Vision Statement:
All Saints Parish, through dedicated staff and volunteers, will catechize, evangelize, and put faith into action through traditional and contemporary methods, vibrant liturgies, prayer, and community events as opportunities for encounters with the living Christ. We will continue to love and serve with compassion for the sick, the dying, and their loved ones with the heart of Jesus.
Three Parish PrioritiesPriority 1
Improve and expand communications strategies via implementing a new television/livestreaming camera system and processes at St. Paul Church. This system will be used for daily broadcasting of the Mass, and possibly for other liturgies, i.e. Christmas concerts, ‘teaching Masses,’ catechetical reflections.
SMART goal #1: Implement new camera system – already accomplished. The system was implemented and has been in use since December 2023.
Action Item – continue learning how to best utilize the new camera system (4 cameras), along with recruiting more parishioners interested in and capable of operating the system professionally and respectfully so that the viewer experiences as much as possible the holiness/wholeness of the Mass.SMART goal #2: Use the new system to broadcast other liturgies – already accomplished. The annual parish Christmas concert was live-streamed, and has over 500 viewers. Action Item – when able, live-stream liturgies that are not broadcast on the Armstrong Cable, i.e. Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper.
Priority 2
Increase information technology capabilities and security, and increase social media presence by expanding the usage of current platforms for evangelization purposes to include a higher frequency of posts, promotion of parish events, and video reflections.
SMART goal #1: Hire an information technology director for the parish. Action Item – the parish hired an IT director in December 2023, and numerous projects are in process to enhance building security, cybersecurity, communications efficiency, and parish presence via social media.
SMART goal #2: Purchase and implement a new parish office(s) phone system. Action Item – implement the new system that will connect both parish offices and streamline incoming phone calls by the summer 2024.
Priority 3
Increased, and more focused and creative evangelization efforts via in-person events and podcasts to include faith formation, a speaker series, adult learning opportunities, and youth involvement.
SMART goal #1: Hire a director of evangelization for the parish. Action Item – the parish hired a director of evangelization in August 2023; this person has been, and continues to engage with parish youth and adults, offering opportunities for encounters with Christ via speaker events, praise and worship evenings, and strengthening the relationships between Butler Catholic School and local Catholic high schools.
SMART goal #2: More frequently communicate the opportunities for parishioners to learn, live, and love Jesus and the Catholic faith via book clubs, Bible studies, and the RCIA program that already exist in the parish.
SMART goal #3: Develop and produce parish podcasts. Action Item – working with the pastor and the director of evangelization, the parish director of communications will spearhead podcast opportunities during 2024, with the goal of interviewing various people with inspiring stories and messages of hope, and offering suggestions about how to put that hope into action.
