  IHM PARISH SURVEY

Together with the Diocese of Harrisburg and the Catholic Leadership Institute, the Immaculate Heart of Mary parish is beginning a process to strengthen our knowledge, love, and service to Christ in our parish and community. The first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities as a parish, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in! Click here for more information.

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
