Dear Parishioners of St. Joseph Parish,

Your pastor, Fr. John Trout, will soon be participating in the Catholic Leadership 360 Review process. This review process is part of the ordinary structure required by Archdiocesan Policy of every diocesan priest approximately every five years. It is an opportunity for Fr. Trout to recognize his talents and to grow to become a better priest and pastoral minister. Selected members of the parish staff and parish leadership, the dean, and I will be reviewers using this instrument.  

According to Archdiocesan policies lay leadership and parishioners are to be given the opportunity to recognize Fr. Trout’s gifts and to share their sentiments about his ministry. We are providing a parish-wide survey as part of his review process. The survey can be easily accessed by going to Ministerial Resources for Parishes on the Archdiocese of Chicago website, 

https://www.archchicago.org/offices-and-ministries/ministerial-resources-for-parishes 

In the middle of the page, you will find Parish-wide Survey Review for Priests. The survey is available in English, Spanish, and Polish. Please click on the word ‘Link’ next to your appropriate language to access the survey. 

If you have any concerns or comments pertaining to Fr. Trout’s review, feel free to contact me directly. If you have any further questions or suggestions about the review process you may contact Fr. Bob Heidenreich, Coordinator of Ministerial Review and Priests Programs, by email 
([email protected]) or by phone at the Priests’ Placement Office (312-534-5237). 

When the Catholic Leadership 360 Review process has been completed, Fr. Trout will be asked to share the insights he has received and his further developmental plans with you in the parish bulletin and on the parish web site.  

Thank you for your willingness to participate and provide constructive information. 

Sincerely yours in Christ,  

Most Reverend Alberto Rojas                                                 
Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago
