The Diocese of Cleveland has asked the Catholic Leadership Institute to facilitate parish-wide surveys throughout the diocese. Bishop Malesic wants as many parishioners as possible to complete this 10–15-minute survey, which has been extended through April 19, online (click image) or in paper format at the church entrances. You will be asked to reflect on your own spiritual growth and to provide feedback on how Nativity supports you. All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about Nativity as a whole. Thank you for your cooperation.
