Dear Pastors and Pastoral Administrators,
Thank you for your continued support of the pastoral planning process. One component of pastoral planning is the need for good statistical information. Parish attendance is valuable data. Moving forward, the Priest Council is asking that parishes conduct a Mass count at every weekend Mass, starting this weekend.
To report attendance numbers, you can simply complete the online Parish Attendance Report. Please submit your attendance counts by the end of the business day every Monday. Attached is a count form that will aid your volunteers in tracking the attendance at each Mass. We strongly encourage you to use actual counts versus an estimated count.
If you have any questions or need assistance in completing the online report, please don’t hesitate to contact John Woodraska (605-988-3751). Thank you for your cooperation.
In Christ,
Chris Motz
