1.      Will Parishes/Campus Ministries other than the twenty who have volunteered for the study continue
    to implement their We Walk By Faith effort?  YES  

2.      Will we be using the same survey as the 20 Parishes/Campus Ministries who have volunteered? 
   YES, that is our plan.  

3.      Has a time line been established for the project in OTHER Parishes/Campus Ministries beyond those
   who will be visited in 2007?  NO  

4.      Can we have a copy of the survey?  See above

5.      How do we communicate to the diocesan staff how they can help our parish to develop programs and
   processes important to full implementation of We Walk By Faith?  Send your requests to Sr. Diane Guy
   at dguy@richmonddiocese.org.

6.     Is it okay to borrow and copy another Parish/Campus Ministries' survey to use?  NO.  Each individual
  parish/campus ministry is bar-coded with a separate number.  Making copies of surveys sent from the diocese
  creates a problem for the scanning process as well.  The blocks do not line up and therefore the scanner does
  not read the answers automatically. 

7.     If ours is not one of the twenty volunteer parishes or campus ministries slated for 2007, does that mean
  we have to wait until 2008 to do our parish survey and self-study?  NO, you can take the survey and
  begin the self study anytime you want.  Parishes have been told that if they take the self study now
  and   the Bishop doesn't visit them for several years, they can take the survey again before he comes. 
  A comparison in results may be interesting.

8.    Is there a suggested form for the parish report?  YES, click here to see it.

9.   When should parish reports be sent to administrative offices?  Two weeks before scheduled visit by the Bishop  send your report to Sr. Diane Guy at dguy@richmonddiocese.org

10. When we receive our disc from the diocese, is there an easier way to read the comments on the back page without opening each individual survey? YES, Windows XP has the ability to view all the "back page write-ins"
in a slide show format.  In order to do this, open the folder that contains all your "back page write-ins".  Once you have opened this folder, there is a Picture Tasks option on the left toolbar.  You will see “View as a slide show”.  Click this and the slide show will begin. Once the show has begun, use the menu bar option that appears in the top right corner to play, pause, go to the previous picture, go to the next picture, and exit.  So that results can be viewed and read, it is recommended that the user pause the show and then use the slide advance option buttons to flip between images.
