Last night’s meeting was good, but please put your thoughts in writing for the RMC committee to hear.   Please complete the Feedback form by Monday, October 14 at 9:00 am.  If you wish to do it online or via email or submit it to the rectory, please submit your response by 9:00 am on Monday, October 14th.  You may submit your Feedback form via email to Rosy Aguilar’s email address:  raguilar@stdismasparish.net.  Or, you may print the form and return to the rectory or at any of the Masses this weekend.  We understand it is a short timeframe, however, your input is very valuable and we need to hear from you.

As you provide your comments, please remember this is not a vote.  We want to get your concerns, feelings and any questions you may have.  The Cardinal will make the decision based strongly on the established criteria every grouping is going through the RMC process.  The feedback helpsin gaining a better understanding of the local realities and needs in order to meet the goal of having  a vibrant Catholic community.

God Bless You,
