1.  In our parish, do we have effective means of reaching our parishioners and including them?  Are there some additional ways we might need to adopt to communicate with more people and invite their active participation? *
2.  Do we consciously plan ways to get insights and ideas from people in our parish or local community who at times may seem to be on the fringes?  (These might include members of minority groups, young adults, widowed or divorced, singles, elderly, persons with physical or learning disabilities, members of religious communities or various devotional groups, native speakers of a language other than English, those who might be considering becoming Catholic, civic officials, or those of other faiths.)  Whose wisdom might we be missing?                                                                                                                                                           *
3. Liturgical ministries, outreach to the homebound, religious education, and services to the poor always seem to need additional volunteers.  Are we challenging people to take on some vital parish ministries and training them for these?                                                                                                                       *
4. Are we an evangelizing parish?  Do we reach out to one another and to people who are not members of our Church in ways that makes Jesus real for them and personalizes faith?  Are we seeing the fruits of our efforts?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     *
5. Every diocese is being asked by Pope Francis to establish a “Laudato Si’ Action Platform”  Do we have people in our parish or local community who can contribute skills when we are considering renovation or building projects and care for our parish properties?  Are we aware of environmental issues in areas around us?  Are we deliberate about being conscientious about “Care for Our Common Home"?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 *
6.  "Synodality" asks us to be energetic and involved ambassadors of our faith by conscientious listening and sharing of insights to advance Jesus' mission in the world.  How do we see our parishioners becoming more aware of how much their faith and insights count -- and need to be heard? *
