ME-25

Member Engagement Survey (ME-25)

In April 2011, the parish participated in the ME-25 survey. This survey was produced by the Gallup organization and will be used as a measure of the spiritual health of the parish. If you would like an overview of the ME-25 survey tool, reading the Gallup ME-25 brochure would be an excellent place to start.

Results Overview

After the end of the survey period, the Gallup organization compiled the results and then provided them to the parish. A team from the parish has been working to assist Fr. David with assessing the results and looking at areas where the survey showed room for improvement. For an overview of this parish activity, we recommend starting with Father David's pastoral letter. The first portion of the survey questions are discussed in a summary on member engagement questions. A write-up on each individual question on the survey, along with the aggregate parish response, is provided on the right.

God bless.
