This study discovers the attitudes and the theological understanding of lay ministry among the laity and clergy. Secondarily, the study provides a survey of needs for establishing a training center for laity involved in ministry. Seven parishes and 106 clergy participated in the study. Surveys were distributed during homily time at a Sunday liturgy in the seven parishes. A discussion was held afterwards to help interpret the results. Another survey, similar to the one distributed to the laity, was mailed to the active parish clergy. The study indicated a positive attitude toward lay ministry among laity and clergy. Theologically, the laity viewed lay ministry primarily as sharing in the priest's ministry. The clergy indicated a concern about certain canonical issues and a distinction of roles. Both groups saw a need for education and formation in lay ministry. The training center will have to address these issues.
