I am working on a survey to improve parishes in evangelization and otherwise.
Please fill out this survey
The goal of this survey is to share ideas that work, so that parishes can improve together. The more of your best practices (activities that you do that work well and are repeatable) you share the more we can improve as a whole. Some of your answers may overlap. This questionnaire is not meant to be a burden, but an aid and need not take longer that 15 or 30 minutes.
Q1
Which Fundraising practices or strategies of your parishes would be beneficial for other parishes to implement?
(Examples: At Parish X the parish hosts “trivia nights” which are fun, bring in parishioners and non parishioners, and require fewer volunteers than a traditional event because no cooking is involved. At Parish W, there is a successful online and delivery ordering component to the annual festival.)
Q2
Which Administrative practices of your parishes would be beneficial for other parishes to implement?
(Examples: a particular software that is used, some paid service that you employ such as a mailing service, cleaning service, an extraordinary method for managing rentals and cleanups)
Q3
Which Lay Participation practices or activities of your parishes would be beneficial for other parishes to implement?
(This could include some particular of the ushers program, some service to the poor or needy, some small faith or prayer group that other parishes could implement.)
Q4
Which Evangelization or Outreach practices or activities of your parishes would be beneficial for other parishes to implement?
(Example: Parish Y has a strong greeter committee that makes newcomers feel welcome. This could include some way that you spread the Gospel to people who have fallen away from the parish, spouses or families of parishioners, or those who are not Catholic or were never baptized.)
Q5
Which Education practices of your parishes would be beneficial for other parishes to implement?
(Example: Parish Z in Fairlawn has Catholic cd’s in the vestibule. Parish Q has an annual mission during Holy Week. Parish V has religious education the hour before the liturgy every week. This could also include some special program that your parish utilizes.)
Q6
Which Communication practices of your parishes would be beneficial for other parishes to implement?
(This could be some insight for bulletin content or design, website or advertisement. Some unique way of collecting email addresses. A strong relationship with local churches. communities, or organizations.)
Q7
Are there any challenges faced at the parish level that could be solved at the Eparchial or Diocesan level?
(Current Examples: Each priest finding and negotiating his own insurance is time consuming and expensive, the Diocese/ Eparchy has negotiated a group plan saving time and money. Each parish printing and writing their own religious education books is expensive and time consuming, the Diocese/Eparchy prints books for all parishes to use saving time and money.)
