Beacons of Light Leadership Culture Assessment
During the Culture Retreat, Family of Parishes used this assessment to facilitate discussion of the current ecclesial culture in their Family of Parishes. A Family Leadership Team may want to repeat this assessment over time to measure how their ecclesial culture is changing. The Center for Parish Vitality can facilitate this re-assessment.
