Day Three hundred and fourteen: Thursday 28th January 2021

Catholic Voices Survey

Catholic Voices, the University of Birmingham and the Mater Dei Institute in Dublin are running a major online survey of Catholic experience in UK and Eire under lockdown. The first phase last year indicated that people had developed much stronger attachments to liturgy and sacraments. Catholics seemed to value their clergy more than the members of other denominations. The hope, in this next phase, is that members of every parish will take part, especially clergy. The clergy in England were less well represented last time despite reports of new pastoral efforts, needs and challenges. All responses, ordained and lay, are anonymous and confidential but will provide insights for pastoral planning, giving and support in the future.

The survey is here and should take 15-20 minutes https://www.catholicvoices.org.uk/survey
