The survey should take no longer than 10 minutes of your time to complete.
The questions in the survey are in three parts.
First we confirm your contact details and information about the parish. This is so that we can reply to you with the free personalised stewardship renewal plan. Questions in the first section consist of:
- Your name?
- Your contact phone number?
- Your parishes name?
- Parish size (number of active families in the parish)?
- What is the URL of your parish website or place on social media (e.g. Facebook page) where your parish can be found online?
- When you would like to do your next stewardship renewal?
In the next section we ask a couple of questions about the recent history and current level of stewardship giving. This is so that we can learn more about stewardship in your parish. Questions in the second section consist of:
- How often does your parish typically do a stewardship renewal?
- Weekly committed giving (this is the average actual amount given each week over last three months through envelopes, automatic bank transfer and online)?
- Weekly giving to loose plate collection (this is the average amount given each week over last three months to the loose plate collection)?
Finally, we ask about your stewardship renewal plans. This is so that we can understand more about what you would like to do. Questions in the third section consist of:
- Does your parish have a parish vision (this can be a simple statement like my parish would like to have a stewardship renewal because we need to fix the roof)? YES or NO
- If your parish has a parish vision share why your parish would like to have a stewardship renewal.
- Has your parish decided on a stewardship renewal theme? YES or NO
- If your parish has a stewardship renewal theme we would like to know what it is called.
It is OK if you don't have all the answers and it is understood that in some cases information will not be available.
The information collected is only used to help with the stewardship renewal planner and is not used for any other purposes. The personalised stewardship planner and recommendations are offered free without cost or obligation.
