Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Encounter Christ & Learn to Live as Disciples.
The parish mission of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is to Encounter Christ and Learn to Live as Disciples. Missionary Discipleship is the practice of following Jesus Christ and sharing the gospel (the Good News) with others. Missionary discipleship involves getting all of the baptized to understand that we are each called to mission.
The very first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in! The DMI is an important survey tool that invites you to reflect on your discipleship journey here at Sacred Heart.
