Catholic Schools in an Increasingly Hispanic Church

A Summary Report of Findings from the National Survey of Catholic Schools Serving Hispanic Families

.....

Identified schools were organized by arch/diocese and represented more than 150 Catholic arch/dioceses, about 85% of the 178 Latin Rite Catholic arch/dioceses in the United States. Superintendents of Catholic schools (equivalents) in identified arch/dioceses were individually contacted and invited to amend the school list by adding omitted schools or removing closed schools. Also, superintendents were invited to encourage survey participation by school leaders in their arch/dioceses. The final survey sample included 1,488 Catholic schools, or 22.7% of all Catholic schools in the U.S.

In June 2014 school principals (or their equivalents) received, electronically, a formal invitation to participate in the study and a link to the survey. All responding principals signed a consent form and all survey mailings were followed with monthly electronic reminders, a paper postcard in September 2014, and some follow-up phone calls to answer participants’ questions regarding the electronic platform. Data collection closed in November 2014. The survey was designed by the principal investigators and hosted by Boston College on a secure site using Qualtrics. The Boston College Institutional Review Board approved all materials and research activity.
