2025 Parishioner Survey Results
On March 22-23, 2025, the Family Leadership Team (FLT) and Family Pastoral Council (FPC) surveyed adult parishioners in attendance at all Masses in our Family of Parishes. The purpose of the survey was to obtain input from each of our 1350+ weekend Mass attendees, which will be used to supplement many other sources of data as the FLT and pastor make decisions going forward.
This survey captured the opinions of 1,243 respondents! A team of diligent volunteers assembled by the FPC hand-entered all data into a custom data analysis program designed by OLODP parishioner, Bill Rocklin, who has plentiful professional experience in this area. Both the full survey results and an abridged summary of the results are available below. Bringing our five parish communities together is and will continue to be challenging in many respects. Your input is greatly appreciated.
