The members completed tabulating the
parish census. We have received 261 replies to the census and with
Pauline entering the results in our computer system. A letter and
additional census forms will be mailed in August to all parishioners who
did not reply to the first letter. We thank all who responded to the first
mailing and encourage all who receive the letter this month to complete
the “Census” and “Time and Talent” forms.
The
Buildings and Grounds Committee met on July 15, 2009. They dealt with
a number of issues surrounding the sale of the St Raphael property. The
sale is expected to be completed in early September. The organ has been
sold to a Catholic Church in Export, PA. You may notice that the crosses
on the exterior of the church are expected to be removed this week. Many
of the saleable items that remain will be removed from the buildings and
sold at the tag sale. The, hopefully, last day to clean the buildings out
will be this Saturday, August 15th.
The B & G
Committee is also commencing a complete review of all of the parish
physical plant needs with the goal of completing a schedule for completion
over the next 4-5 years.
The
Finance Committee reported that the Casey Fund is providing a sum of
money to the parish to help pay for the new walks and cleaning and
updating the living quarters in the rectory for Father Biernat. We also
received monies to fund the scholarship program.
The Finance
Committee has started work on the 2009/10 budget and hope to complete by
our September meeting.
