In an effort to have a better understanding of our community, we are asking for your cooperation.  The information gathered from this survey will be used to improve our parish communities and we may provide summaries to apply for funding and when we communicate to other organizations about parish realities.  This information is provided anonymously and will be examined in aggregate. This survey is being implemented by the English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) with the collaboration of your parish.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Executive Director of the ESCC, Anna Farrow at escc@bellnet.ca of 514-937-2301 ex. 256.
