“And the Survey
Says…”Insights from the Synod Surveys
Cindee Case, Director, Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry
Fr. Chris Luoni, Director, Office of Vocations,
Pastor, St. Joan of Arc Parish, Streetsboro
Workshop Description:
Over the summer, high school teens,
young adults, their parents and parish
leaders were invited to participate in
surveys to provide input to the diocese,
United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops and the Vatican in preparation for
the 15th Ordinary Synod of Bishops
focused on Young People, the Faith and
Vocational Discernment. Hundreds of
people took advantage of this unique
opportunity to share experiences, ideas
and concerns with the Church. In this
session, we will share some of the
insights we gained for our diocese and
discuss implications and opportunities,
and converse about what we hope to
see come from the synod and how it
may impact the American Church and
our diocese.
“The Church () wishes to
listen to your voice, your
sensitivities and your
faith; even your doubts
and your criticism.
Make your voice heard,
let it resonate in your
communities and let it
be heard by your
shepherds of souls.”
Pope’s Letter to Young People on the Occasion of the Preparatory
Document of the 15th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of
Bishops:
Six distinct but related online surveys were created by the OY&YAM to
gather information for the Synod as well as additional information to
help guide the work of our local ministries. The surveys were intended
for the following audiences (with the number of respondents for each
category in parentheses):
1. Catholic Youth of High School Age (123)
2. Non-Catholic Youth of High School Age (7)
3. Catholic Young Adults (101)
4. Non-Catholic Young Adults (5)
5. Parents/Families (170) (includes one response in Spanish language form)
6. Staff at parishes and schools (73)
Two parishes submitted reports from Listening
Sessions (17 participants) = total of 496 responses
Catholic Teen Responses:
Catholic Young Adult Responses:
What percentage of TEENS,
YOUNG ADULTS
PARENTS/FAMILIES
Feel like the Church DOES a good job
of listening to young people?
From Parents/Family members surveys:
RE: LISTENING:
A common positive response was there was youth ministry at the parish
or listed some youth ministry activities (45), although few of these
responses specifically mentioned listening to teens.
10 responded youth active in liturgical roles, but again not tied
specifically to listening to youth.
8 responses included the participation of youth on Parish Council,
which would imply listening to youth as one aspect.
41 responses focused on a person that was working directly with the
youth – youth minister, CCD teacher, priest, or other caring adults. In
the building of relationships, key adults are able to connect with the youth
on a personal level and listen to their concerns.
Significantly, 11 people cited the pastor or priest as someone who
listens to youth.
Many people responded that the leadership of the parish was an
important factor for assessing whether or not they felt the parish
listened to youth.
Challenges: General
Negative Peer Pressure
(40)
Drugs/alcohol (33)
Bullying (12)
Anxiety (12)
School (10)Young Adults Added Finances, not being treated as Adults, jobs,
relationships, sex and lack of community as key challenges.
Challenges: Church/Faith
1. Church is boring, non-engaging
(26)
2. Staying connected to my
faith/the Church (23)
3. Lacking belief in God (17)
4. Church is too strict (16)
5. Lack of parents faith/practice
(13)
Note: Question just asked what they think are challenges young people are facing, we
did not ask about general or Church/faith related, but the responses seemed to cover
both.
Sad note: Of Catholic teens,
5 noted not feeling welcomes/loved at Church….

And the survey says... DOY Ministry Day workshop on synod surveys

  • 1. “And the Survey Says…”Insights from the Synod Surveys Cindee Case, Director, Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry Fr. Chris Luoni, Director, Office of Vocations, Pastor, St. Joan of Arc Parish, Streetsboro
  • 2. Workshop Description: Over the summer, high school teens, young adults, their parents and parish leaders were invited to participate in surveys to provide input to the diocese, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Vatican in preparation for the 15th Ordinary Synod of Bishops focused on Young People, the Faith and Vocational Discernment. Hundreds of people took advantage of this unique opportunity to share experiences, ideas and concerns with the Church. In this session, we will share some of the insights we gained for our diocese and discuss implications and opportunities, and converse about what we hope to see come from the synod and how it may impact the American Church and our diocese.
  • 3.
  • 4. “The Church () wishes to listen to your voice, your sensitivities and your faith; even your doubts and your criticism. Make your voice heard, let it resonate in your communities and let it be heard by your shepherds of souls.” Pope’s Letter to Young People on the Occasion of the Preparatory Document of the 15th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops:
  • 5. Six distinct but related online surveys were created by the OY&YAM to gather information for the Synod as well as additional information to help guide the work of our local ministries. The surveys were intended for the following audiences (with the number of respondents for each category in parentheses): 1. Catholic Youth of High School Age (123) 2. Non-Catholic Youth of High School Age (7) 3. Catholic Young Adults (101) 4. Non-Catholic Young Adults (5) 5. Parents/Families (170) (includes one response in Spanish language form) 6. Staff at parishes and schools (73) Two parishes submitted reports from Listening Sessions (17 participants) = total of 496 responses
  • 6. Catholic Teen Responses: Catholic Young Adult Responses:
  • 7. What percentage of TEENS, YOUNG ADULTS PARENTS/FAMILIES Feel like the Church DOES a good job of listening to young people?
  • 8.
  • 9.
  • 11. RE: LISTENING: A common positive response was there was youth ministry at the parish or listed some youth ministry activities (45), although few of these responses specifically mentioned listening to teens. 10 responded youth active in liturgical roles, but again not tied specifically to listening to youth. 8 responses included the participation of youth on Parish Council, which would imply listening to youth as one aspect. 41 responses focused on a person that was working directly with the youth – youth minister, CCD teacher, priest, or other caring adults. In the building of relationships, key adults are able to connect with the youth on a personal level and listen to their concerns. Significantly, 11 people cited the pastor or priest as someone who listens to youth. Many people responded that the leadership of the parish was an important factor for assessing whether or not they felt the parish listened to youth.
