Parish Pastoral Survey Feedback on
Catholic Faith Formation

• A very high percentage (35) did not respond on
  their level of knowledge of the Catholic faith,
  whilst only 18 feel they know the Catholic
  teachings very well.
• There is much that can and should be done in this
  area.

9
Survey feedback onReaching out to Parishioners

• 56 say they are touched by church teachings.
• 60 think church teachings have a strong
  influence on their value system.
• However, less than 50 are aware that it is the
  role of every parishioner to reach out to others.

Pareto's theory The 80-20 Rule

• Observed that twenty percent of the people owned
  eighty percent of the wealth in his country,
• "vital few and trivial many
• The 80/20 Rule means that in anything a few (20
  percent) are vital and many(80 percent) are
  trivial.

11
Pareto's theory
The 80-20 Rule

• 80 percent of your stock comes from 20 percent of
  your suppliers.
• Also 80 percent of your sales will come from 20
  percent of your sales staff.
• 20 percent of your staff will cause 80 percent of
  your problems, but another 20 percent of your
  staff will provide 80 percent of your production.
  It works both ways.

12
Pareto's theory
The 80-20 Rule

• You can apply the 80/20 Rule to almost anything,
  from the science of management to the physical
  world.
• If we can address and resolve The 3 PPP we have
  literary resolved 80 of our Parish Pastoral
  issues and concern !!

13
