Diocesan Planning Study

Reminder: The Diocese of Saint John is conducting a comprehensive planning study of the entire diocese to help gauge the interest and support for the Cathedral Restoration, an Endowment for Parish Evangelization Efforts, and Individual Parish Needs. If you receive a survey in the mail, you can complete it and return it to the diocese by mail or place it in the offertory basket anytime in March. In order to gather feedback, there will be listening sessions in the Saint John Region on the following dates:

Tuesday, March 14, 7:00 pm – Our Lady of the Assumption
Wednesday, March 15, 6:30 pm – Holy Redeemer Parish
Thursday, March 16, 7:00 pm – St. Stephen Church
Saturday, March 18, 1:30 pm – Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Sunday, March 19, 2:00 pm – Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
