Notes from our Staff Meeting on Wednesday
Each Wednesday the Parish Staff gets together at 10:00 am for prayer and a meeting.
We pray "Liturgy of the Hours" together and end the meeting with a different prayer.
Yesterday some of the topics included:
Religious Education classes: Yesterday was the last regular class for Religious education! Closing Mass will be held next Wednesday, May 1st at 6:30 pm. This year has gone by so fast! Thanks to Marie (Director of Religious Education) and Matthew (Youth Coordinator) for a wonderful year. We are also grateful for our catechists who volunteer their time and talent each week. If you are interested in helping with the Religious Education program you can reply to this flocknote and I will give Marie your name and contact information.
We also talked about painting the Statues in the church. Tentatively...Billy Rerick will be back in June to paint the base of the Stations of the Cross. More on this later!
Church Beautification Project:
Father Courtright mentioned he's looking for members of our parish to serve on the Church Beautification Committee. If you are interested, please reply to this note and I will put your name down!
