Reports:

Pastor

Father Paul discussed the feedback he received after the Matt Kelly presentation. In planning towards to our Parish Mission this fall, he would like to be sure that it serves the needs of the parish. He would like for the message to reflect our Catholic, Christian identity. Father asked for volunteers for a committee to communicate with Matt Kelly in order to develop the mission so that it will serve the needs of the parish. Jim or Martha Siegel, Tony Mastriani and Darrin Roll volunteered.

 

Director of Youth Ministry/Religious Education

Jodie handed out some information about the Children's Stewardship listing some of the time, talent and treasure given by our children in stewardship envelopes.
