DMI Survey
The survey will be live from October 27th - November 24th.
What is the DMI?
The Disciple Maker Index is a 95-question survey tool that supports Church ministry with objective data, helping Her leaders recognize their potential and envision future possibilities through a deep analysis of attitude and belief, participation, relationship/satisfaction, and demographics.
All parishioners in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati are asked to take part in the Disciple Maker Index survey. Your participation will help provide your pastor and parish leaders with a better understanding of where to focus efforts and energies to help you grow in your faith and achieve the parish’s mission.
Components of the Disciple Maker Index
Attitudes and Beliefs
We ask parishioners about their attitudes toward their parish and their understanding of core Catholic Church teachings.
"To what extent do you believe Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist?"
Relationship and Satisfaction
We ask parishioners to share feedback on their overall parish experience, the sense of hospitality, and their pastor's leadership.
"How likely are you to recommend your parish to a friend?"
Participation
We ask parishioners to provide feedback about the frequency with which they participate in different Catholic practices like Mass, reconciliation, prayer, etc.
91% of parishioners report going to Mass weekly.
Demographics
We ask parishioners to provide further context to their parish audience, such as age, gender, and ethnicity, which allows us to dive deeper into the data itself.
79% of parishioners are over the age of 35.
How do I complete the survey?
To complete the DMI survey, you will first select your parish-specific link and then answer all the questions to the best of your ability and honestly. Remember that these are completely anonymous, and the more honest you are, the better we can help. The survey should take 10-15 minutes.
If you are unable to complete the survey online, please come to one of the parish offices for a paper version.
