This survey seeks input from parish faith formation leaders, including DRE’s, Youth Minister, and Catechists regarding their understanding, use, and recommendations for updating the “Sacramental Preparation Policies & Catechetical Guidelines” of the Diocese of St. Petersburg. A separate but similar survey will be sent to Catholic Schools. Your feedback will help ensure a revised document remains pastorally effective, theologically and canonically sound, and practical for parish and school settings.
