St. Christine Church Results from the Mass Survey in January 2007
Parish Alive! Process Summary • Assemble Core Group to lead an assessment of things, inside and out • Identify top items for Parish to address • Make plans to address these items (work with what exists and propose new ideas) • Announce these plans in a Convocation (open forum) and tweak/revise if need be • Implement the plans to address top items
Purposes of the Surveys • Voice: allow folks to express themselves • Check: tap into our strengths and challenges (pulse/BP) • Suggest: provide insight as to where we might focus our efforts
Survey Reinforcement • Leadership surveys done in October 2006 echo the findings of the Mass surveys (strengths in Liturgy and Parish leadership, challenges in involvement and youth appeal) • Focus Groups done in January 2007 also reflect the findings of the Mass surveys (strengths on the Mass and what the Parish has to offer; challenges in reaching out to those not involved and being appealing to young folks)
