Leadership Night                    July 1, 2008

 

Commission Reports

 

 

Administration 

The census form has been completed.  In addition, we plan to include a time and talent questionnaire form to draw out special interests of parishioners. Also, discussion in a preliminary way, were the other changes of the commission are communication and the call to discipleship.

 

Community

A discussion about co-chairs for the Elderly Activities Commission.  The parish census book was reviewed. Some names listed for contact about co-chair position. A note will be placed in the bulletin requesting volunteers.

 

Formation

The members discussed the structuring of a Youth Ministry following PAR format from Father Sweetser’s website as a guideline.  A format for our Youth Ministry was created. A job description for the Youth Ministry sub-commission volunteers was outlined.  We brainstormed ways of getting adult participants for this sub-commission.  The members present defined roles of the youth ministries and youth council (all of these will be youth driven and adult facilitated).

 

Outreach

The commission members finalized plan for an Outreach programs bulletin board (for in the church lobby) – completion will be in July.There are 88 volunteers listed    as participating in the outreach programs. Plans for a bulletin insert for August. This will be based on the content of the bulletin board.  Information for outreach will be placed on the website by Jim Fresia.

 

Worship

The commission members continued processing plans for the Liturgical planning commission.  Father Geoffrey Deeker has been recruited to provide this group with a 2 session workshop.  Potential sub-commission members will be invited to attend.  The members expanded the goals and objectives for the Liturgical planning commission.

 

Pastoral Council

The council reviewed and recapped the various commission meetings.  The consensus of the council is that the commissions are strong and moving in a positive forward direction towards their goals.  No new business.

 

 

**there will be no leadership night in August – the next meeting will be September 2.
