Parish Survey


As part of the Derry Diocesan Pastoral Plan 2018-2021, Bishop Donal McKeown has asked that every parish conducts a Parish Survey. Over the years we have seen many changes in our parish and in the years to come we will see many more. The parish survey gives us an opportunity to continue to grow as a parish, as a community and as a people of faith. An opportunity to respond to your needs and the changing circumstances of the parish. We would like to hear your views. Whether you are young or not so young, whether you practice your faith or not, whether you are new to the parish or have lived here many years.

In the next week representatives from the parish will deliver a survey to your home. For those under 18 years old, there is a Youth Survey. If you need additional copies contact the parish office. The survey should take no more than a few minutes to complete.


The paper surveys can be returned: by post (please affix a stamp), to our parish primary schools (St Mary’s, Christ the King, St Brigid’s, St Eugene’s or St Ronan’s Recarson), into the survey box at the back of the Churches, into the survey boxes in McGinn’s Spar Killyclogher, McBride’s Spar Mullaghmore, McBride’s Spar Gortin Rd, Mace Strathroy, Dolans Mace Gortin Rd or Vivo Mountfield, or simply by dropping it into the parish office.


The survey can be completed online, follow the link on the parish website or FBook page.


We thank you very much for taking the time to compete the survey.


It will be very helpful for us as we continue to build an active and vibrant parish.

“DTIM” Parents Comment

“This is our first year participating in the DTIM. It has made a big difference in our home with all our children learning to understand how important prayer is. As they weren’t very keen on going to Mass before, the fact that all the children get to participate in some way or another has changed this in our house. Joe has felt so included and looks forward to getting to help with the Masses. Thank you to Cappagh Parish, you have made us all feel very welcome.”

Imelda McMahon & Family, St Brigid’s PS, Mountfield
