- Set Sail: Charting the Course for Christ's Church is the strategic planning process for the Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador. Six strategic goals have been developed for 2024 and 2025 which are being rolled out in 2023. As we work towards these goals together, we will be looking for ways to share the stories of how we are living out the goals. We also want to demonstrate the outcomes from our efforts towards the goals. To help lay the foundation for measuring our progress, we would like to understand the current views of the people of the Diocese on personal faith and parish life. We will use these views as a baseline against which we will measure the impact of Set Sail. Participation is completely anonymous, and there is no direct link between the responses and people or parishes. No personal information is being collected. We would love to hear from you and the people around you! The survey can be completed on your smartphone, tablet/iPad, or computer. Please take a few minutes to share your views at https://triware.typeform.com/SetSailBaseline. The survey will be open until March 7, 2023.
