Why a Parish Survey?

If your parish has never conducted a professional survey, you’ll be surprised with the results. A well-administered survey is the best way to find out what parishioners truly think about important issues in the parish. Instead of forming opinions through occasional discussions with a limited number of parishioners, surveys open the doors to every opinion from every household. Our comprehensive surveys focus on areas such as Parish Life, Liturgy, Outreach, Stewardship, Parish Schools, Religious Education, Staff Evaluations, Parish Involvement, Facilities, etc.

Carefully Crafted Questions

Well-framed questions are critical to your survey’s success. It takes skill and experience to eliminate bias and ask exactly the right question. Catholic Stewardship Consultants will work with you to create a customized survey that will address the specific needs of your parish.

Eye-pleasing Design

Our goal is to get the opinion of as many parishioners as possible. To that end, our graphic designers create attractive, reader-friendly surveys that are inviting to complete and easy to return. Typically, our surveys are returned to the parish at a rate that is twice the industry standard.

Sophisticated Computer Reporting

After gathering the completed surveys, we custom-design a computer database into which we enter the survey information. From here, we can generate a number of different data sets that give you an accurate report of parishioner response.

Professional Analysis

To make sense of all the numbers, we provide you with a professional report. It’s useful and down-to-earth, and will give you an accurate, relevant, and eye-opening profile of your parish. We will review the report with you and any appropriate leadership bodies to explain the survey results and create a plan to address any issues uncovered by the survey.
