The Parish analysis is a method which can help parishes to fullfill these important missions. The first part of the diploma project is dedicated to the theory which is trying to provide a complex view on the parish itself. The second part is about the parish's tasks like its local roles streaming from the church and its ability to fullfil them. Third part is focused on the parish analysis as a method of parish renewal process. It describes its main characteristics, how the process is working and describes some recommendations how to apply the parish analysis based upon some examples from abroad. In the last part of diploma project, the author is trying to help parishes in the application of the parish analysis by the preparation of a questionary for the investigation phase of the current status of a parish. This part describes questionary's preparation procedure, pilot investigation and a preparation of a new questionary based upon the evalution of the previous one. The diploma project goal is to motivate a parish to the selfreflection and encourage it to start real steps heading to the parish's renewal and development.
