About the survey

The National Association of Catholic Chaplains (NACC) and the Association of Professional Chaplains (APC) partnered this year to offer the SCC Salary Survey, originally issued in 2008. Minor edits were made to the survey tool, using feedback from the 2008 trial. However, all questions remained intact between the two testing periods. This year, 1,230 individuals participated.

The salary and benefits survey gathered confidential data from association members to offer valuable information to professional chaplains and their employers. Employees and human resource representatives alike may use findings from this initiative to compare salary and benefit levels for different roles, geographical locations, and professional expertise.

The survey results provide the most up to date tool available on detailed employment information for chaplains. It is the hope that this information will empower you to propose additional chaplaincy positions in your department, strengthen current positions or assist you should you seek a new position.
