Dear St. Martin of Tours Parishioners,

Here is the summary of your constructive feedback to our last “All Things New” survey for our parish.
I personally read all the surveys and their comments. Listed below are the most common concerns in order of
frequency. At our next Parish Council Meeting, we not only address these suggestions but also find ways to
implement them as soon as we can. You’ll notice, as a positive tandem to these suggestions to get these very
good suggestions up and running, we will need greater participation from our St. Martin of Tours Parish
Family: that means you. We will have six new ways (potentially at least) to help our parish and community.

Thank you for your participation. I am always here for you with open ears and an open heart.

Sincerely,
