Cathedral Parish Faith Survey
For the Year of Faith we are conducting a faith survey in our parish.
The information collected from the survey will assist the Pastoral Staff to better understand the
what our parishioners know about their Catholic faith and assess the educational needs of the Parish.
You can leave the survey (86 questions total) and return any any time and your place will be saved, so long
as cookies are enabled in your browser. An Answer Key will be available with the survey.
We hope that this Answer Key will also serve as an educational aid.
Note: The first six questions on the survey collect simple demographic information.
Your identity is completely anonymous.
The survey will be available until Easter of 2013 and then we will report the results to the parish.
A hard copy of the survey will also be available on the pamphlet rack in the vestibule of the Church.
Volunteers will put the hard copy responses into the survey on the internet for those who prefer to fill it out by hand.
Thanks for participating!
The Siena Society has been established to build long-term financial stability for
our parish or St. John Vianney Regional School; and to encourage, support and
celebrate gifts that ensure that our parish remains vital and vibrant for those who
come after us. Click here to learn more about this important program.
