Survey Request
John Baldino is a teacher of theology and he is working on a doctorate. Part of his research is to find out how much Catholic lay people know about the faith. He would be grateful if you take the survey that is found at the end of his message.
My name is John Baldino. I am a Secular Franciscan and a college professor working toward a Doctor of Theology degree at Pontifex University in Atlanta, Georgia. I live and work in the Greater Scranton area and am affiliated with a Franciscan fraternity in Philadelphia.
Part of my doctoral research involves gathering some information from adult Catholics across the United States, and I am hoping you are willing to participate. If so, all you have to do is complete the short survey linked below. That’s all!
Please know how grateful I am for your help with this important research.
Peace and all good things,
Prof. John Baldino, OFS, MALS, MATh
