ACST Catholic, a leading provider of technology solutions for Catholic parishes and dioceses, has launched a revolutionary service that allows parishes to measure their ministry effectiveness and understand where parishioners are on their journey as disciples. Called The Discipleship Indicator, this brief and unique survey instrument, combined with expert facilitated consulting, enables Catholic parishes to build or strengthen ministries that help form intentional disciples.
Meet the Spokesperson
Terry Poplava
Terry Poplava serves as General Manager of ACST Catholic. As a cradle Catholic, his faith was lukewarm until he was challenged by the intense challenge and commitment he heard in a message about stewardship. “What do I own, and what owns me?” which led him to executive roles at Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic Leadership Institute before his current focus on serving the Catholic Church at ACS Technologies. Terry has extensive experience working with churches across the U.S., supporting their planning, stewardship, and engagement efforts.
