Get to Know Your Priest Questionnaire

Whether a priest has been a chaplain or parochial vicar of the school for one, 10, or 20 years, the majority of students will not be able to say they know him well. Ask your priest to fill out the Get to Know Your Priest Questionnaire to find out his birthday, hobbies, favorite candy, and more. With this basic information, a ministry can utilize his responses in various ways to bring a new understanding of the priest to youth and their parents.

Here are a few examples of some questions:

• Who taught you your faith?
• Who is your favorite saint(s)?
• What attracted you to the priesthood?
• When is your ordination anniversary?
• When is your anniversary with our parish?
• What is your favorite church hymn?
• What is your favorite hobby?
• What is a fun fact that people might not know about you?

This questionnaire can be adapted for religious, as well.

Consider sharing one question and answer each week in the newsletter or all of them in a unique way at the next reception for a birthday, ordination anniversary, or anniversary at the school.

Invite someone to interview the priest, using these questions and others, and type up his responses.
