The 41st Biennial National Clergy-Laity Congress will be held July 1-4, 2012 in Phoenix, AZ.

Dear Parish Members,

The Archdiocesan Council, through its Administration Committee, has been discussing ways to make the Biennial Clergy-Laity Congress more productive and cost effective. Additionally, two Metropolises have put resolutions forward to the next Congress which would change the Clergy-Laity Congress from every two years to every three years. These resolutions will be discussed and voted upon at the up-coming Clergy Laity Congress in Phoenix, Arizona.

In order for the Administration Committee to study this situation objectively, we are asking Parishioners to fill out an on-line survey about the Clergy-Laity Congress. We ask ALL those interested to please fill out the survey regardless of your prior participation in a Clergy-Laity Congress.

Your participation will enable us to understand areas that can or should be improved. We are looking for your candid opinions, thoughts and perceptions regarding our National Clergy-Laity Congress (“CLC”). Your valuable contribution will assist in improving future Clergy-Laity Congresses.

There are no correct or incorrect answers. Should you feel you lack sufficient knowledge or do not have an opinion simply leave the answer blank.

Thank you for your time and attention in filling out this important survey!
