Pastoral Review 2019 - Fr. Francis Arulappan HGN

The Archbishop of Seattle and his staff meet regularly with pastors to help them review their ministry. This feedback form is an important part of that ongoing review process in which I now invite you to participate. The questions are about the different ways I, as your pastor, have assisted in your formation as a disciple of Jesus. All of your responses will be held in confidence and the report prepared for me will not identify any individual. The only person who will see your name (which is requested at the end of the survey) is the Director of Research for the Archdiocese. I encourage you to fill out this short survey. The experiences you share will help us evaluate our parish life and leadership, my effectiveness as your Pastor, and will show how we can, together, become more effective followers of Jesus Christ.

In Christ,
Father Francis Arulappan, HGN

Revisión Pastoral 2019 – Padre Francis Arulappan, HGN

El Arzobispo de Seattle y su personal se reúnen regularmente con los párrocos para ayudarlos a examinar su ministerio. Este formulario informativo forma una parte importante de ese proceso continuo de revisión en la que ahora les invito a participar. Las preguntas son sobre las diferentes maneras en que yo, como su párroco, he asistido en su formación como discípulo de Jesús. Todas sus respuestas serán confidenciales y el reporte preparado para mí no identificará a ninguna persona. La única persona que verá su nombre (que se pide al final de la encuesta) será el Director de Investigaciones de la Arquidiócesis. Les animo a llenar esta breve encuesta. Las experiencias que compartan nos ayudarán a evaluar la vida y el liderazgo de nuestra parroquia, mi efectividad como párroco y mostrará cómo, juntos, podemos convertirnos en seguidores de Jesucristo más efectivos.

En Cristo,
Padre Francis Arulappan, HGN
