Summary

The Notre Dame Study of Catholic Parish Life attempts to describe Catholic parishes in the United States roughly twenty years after the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. Beyond the broad descriptive sample of all U.S. parishes, its contextual sampling design permits the scholar to examine both laity, and ordained and non-ordained leadership in various types of parishes. It yields data on participation and organizational involvement, styles of religiosity, church-related attitudes, civic involvement and sociopolitical attitudes, organizational designs and decision-making, and liturgical experience and satisfaction. This is the volunteer leaders component within the series of studies.

The ARDA has added seven additional variables to the original data set to enhance the users' experience on our site.

Weight Variable: None

Data Collection

October to November 1983.

Funded By

The Lilly Endowment, Inc.

Collection Procedures

The data were collected using self-administered mail questionnaires distributed to volunteer leaders.

Sampling Procedures

Within 36 selected parishes, volunteer leaders were chosen to receive a questionnaire. Leaders were drawn through a combination of positional and reputational techniques the minimized bias that could come from selection by the pastor alone. Of the 262 volunteer leaders selected, 202 (77%) offered usable responses.
