GENERAL PARISH MEETING

MONDAY, JUNE 4

@ 7 P.M.

IN THE CHURCH HALL

It is hoped that many parishioners will come to this meeting that is being sponsored by the Parish Pastoral Council.

The nominations of new members to the Council were received from parishioners who placed them in boxes at the entrances of the church two weeks before the Parish Pastoral Council meeting. A vote for new members was taken by the Parish Pastoral Council. The members of the Parish Pastoral Council are:

DEACON LARRY ST. ONGE

CAROL SYLVIA

SUE FOSTER

KATHY MURPHY

LEE PACHECO

SUE BEDARD

ANN HART

DAVID SPOOR

MARY KENNEDY

AL LIMA

ALICE LESTER

The Parish Pastoral Council will present the final version of the Parish Self –Study at this special Parish Meeting. Copies of the Self-Study will be available to those who attend this parish meeting. Each topic will be presented with time for responses and questions.

 

At the end of the meeting any other topics, questions, concerns or responses will be welcomed.

This final version of the Parish Self-Study is our second report. The first report was completed in 1995 when the five years before were evaluated and studied. Certain goals were given. In this present report those goals are studied to see if they were implemented. New goals are being projected for the future.

This document will be the road map that we follow for the future years. It is important that the parishioners be aware of this general plan and to have an opportunity to respond.

This is important information for the members of the Council for future decisions and plans.

The meeting will not be long, but it is an important meeting for those parishioners who are interested in their parish and its future. Fr. Ed will conduct the entire meeting.

Input from parishioners about what they want for their parish has always been an important part of the life of the parish. We hope that at such an important juncture as this one, the response of parishioners to this special meeting will be large and enthusiastic.
