His Holiness, Pope Francis, has directed all bishops to survey the Catholic faithful of their local churches about family life issues which will be the topic of discussion at the upcoming October 2014 Extraordinary Synod. Bishop Gaydos has directed that the survey be made available electronically on-line. If you would like to see the survey questions, please go to front page of http://www.diojeffcity.org/ and click on the link that takes you to the survey. You are welcome to respond on-line.
The deadline is December 18th, 2013. The answers and remarks will be collated and summarized and forwarded on to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Thank you in advance for your participation. If you want to participate by writing your responses, you can contact the Catholic Center (573) 635-9127 and you will be directed to the appropriate department for assistance.
