Engaged by the Word

The Catholic Preaching Institute was launched January 2024 with the mission of improving the homiletic experience from both the pulpit and the pew. A noble mission but where to begin?  THE PEOPLE!

Our first program set out to understand people’s experience of being Engaged by the Word in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. In February/March, we opened separate surveys for pastors and parishioners to gauge their views about homilies given and heard.

The survey reports appear below. As we move into development and implementation phases, the feedback will directly shape CPI’s programs.

Once the programs are launched and the participants have had ample opportunities to put into practice what they have learned, we will assess the impact of CPI’s programs through additional surveys that solicit preacher-specific feedback.

The PASTOR’s survey asked all parish leaders in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for recommendations. Responses came to us from 68 pastors and parochial administrators, a summary of which is linked below.
