Question Title

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

Yes - Someone from our parish attended a live training

Yes - Someone from our parish attended a virtual training

No - we did not attend one of the training sessions

If Yes, how could we serve you better in next year's training sessions?

Question Title

* 4. Our office placed the ACA materials order for you but this year we asked you to provide us with an order update.

The quantities were pretty close to what I needed

The quantities were way off (too high/low)

Is there a need for additional printed materials for next year's campaign or can some of the existing ACA materials be eliminated?

Question Title

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

Yes

If yes, what was that project? Did you receive any concerns from parishioners about your project and the upcoming 'Partners in the Gospel'?

Question Title

* 6. Did you use a witness speaker this year?

Yes, our Pastor/Parochial Vicar/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

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

Yes, we mailed Pastor Support letter (scheduled for May 2nd)

Yes, we mailed Pastor Follow-up letter (scheduled for June 13th)

Yes, we mailed Pastor Final Ask Letter (scheduled for June 27th)

We did not mail any letters

Other comments regarding the pastor letters?

Question Title

* 8. ACA Timeline - Sequencing of Pastor/Archbishop Mailings.
This year, we altered the ACA mailings (Archdiocese on 4/17; then parish support on 5/2; then Archdiocese on 5/30; then parish follow-up on 6/13; and then parish final ask on 6/27).

I think this sequence works better

I think the sequence or timing of mailings should be changed (please explain below)

Difficult to determine as we adjusted the start of the campaign by 1-2 weeks due to other parish activities or pastor absence (please explain below)

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

Question Title

* 9. Digital Communication - Email/Social Media

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

We used Archdiocese suggested social/email posts 4 - 6 times during the campaign

We used Archdiocese suggested social/email posts 1 - 3 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

* 10. 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 did weekly ACA Hispanic collections but no monthly collections

We did 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?
