Question Title

* 2. Your Parish & City

Question Title

* 3. Did you or someone from your parish attend one of the ACA trainings?

Question Title

* 4. We have continued to provide ACA training in person at various locations and as an online webinar. What continues to be your preference?

I prefer training via webinar

I prefer live 'in-person' training

Question Title

* 5. This year, our office placed the ACA materials order for you.

I prefer that and the quantities were pretty close to what I needed

I prefer that but the quantities were way off (too high/low)

I prefer ordering the materials myself for our own parish

Is there a need for additional printed materials for future campaigns or can some of the existing print materials be eliminated?

Question Title

* 6. Did you have a parish project to promote for this year's ACA campaign?

Yes

If yes, what was that project?

Yes, our Pastor/Parochial Vicar

Yes, our Deacon

Yes, someone from our Pastoral/Finance Council

Yes, a layperson

We did not use a witness speaker

Was there anything specific from the witness talk that really connected or engaged your audience?

Question Title

* 8. ACA Timeline - Start of Campaign

We stayed with the campaign timeline provided by the Archdiocese.

We delayed the start of campaign timeline by 1-2 weeks due to other parish activities or pastor absence

We delayed the start of campaign timeline 3 weeks or more due to parish activities or pastor absence

If delayed, what was the reason?

Question Title

* 9. ACA Timeline - Letters Mailed by the Parish (select all that apply)

We mailed Pastor Support letter

We mailed Pastor Follow-up letter

We mailed Pastor Final Ask Letter

We mailed no letters

Other comments regarding the pastor letters?

Question Title

* 10. ACA Timeline - Timing of Pastor/Archbishop Mailings

We stayed with Archdiocese timeline and mailed first pastor letter in June

We altered the timeline and mailed first pastor letter in May after Archbishop first mailing

We did not mail any Pastor letters during the campaign

If you altered the pastor mailing timeline, please let us know your reason for changing?

Question Title

* 11. ACA Timeline - Sequencing of Pastor/Archbishop Mailings.
This year, in order to take advantage of a specific, individual 'Ask' by the Archdiocese, our office did the first two mailings (April 25th & May 23rd) and pushed the pastor support mailing to June...

I think this sequence worked better to take advantage of a specific ask by Archdiocese

I think this sequence does not work and we should continue to send (at a minimum), the pastor support letter about 2 weeks after Archbishop first letter.

I don't have enough knowledge at this point to determine if this sequence is more effective or not.

My reason for my answer is..................

Question Title

* 12. This year, we included an 'Ask String' on the pledge card that was mailed for Archbishop mailing 1 & 2. This 'Ask String' was specific for each individual who received a mailing.

I think the suggested 'Ask' was too high

I think the suggested 'Ask' was too low

I think the suggested 'Ask' was just about right

Other comments regarding the 'Ask String'?

Question Title

* 13. Digital Communication - Email/Social Media

We used Archdiocese suggested social posts/email posts MORE than 6 times during the campaign

We used Archdiocese suggested social/email posts LESS than 6 times during the campaign

We did not use ANY of the Archdiocese suggested social/email posts but used our own

We did not do any digital communication at all during the campaign

Feedback regarding the digital communication assets we provided you for this year's campaign?

Question Title

* 14. For those parishes with Hispanic communities, we suggested you take up 4 consecutive collections in May and then transition to a monthly collection over the next few months:

We did weekly ACA Hispanic collections through May and then transitioned to a once a month collection

We have only been doing once a month Hispanic collection for the ACA

We did not take up a weekly or monthly ACA Hispanic collection

If you have taken up a weekly or monthly ACA Hispanic collection, has it been effective?
