We are having a Parish Planning Session on Sunday April 21 at 2pm followed by a special Mass at 4pm and dinner at 5pm. All Parishioners are invited. Please do everything you can to be with us for this very important day.
The general list of topics the Pastoral Council has developed are these:
Liturgy-music, homilies, times of Masses and types of Liturgy
Youth-Spiritual (Faith Formation), service, social
Parish Life/Community-Parish ministries, outreach and social aspects of parish community and increasing membership
School/Parish-The relationship between the two, how to improve interaction, communication, involvement and support
Finance-Financial health of Parish, capital projects, increased offertory
Everyone is welcome to attend this, but we will need a count for the dinner, which will be Chicken Parmesan. Please call the Rectory during regular business hours (9am-4pm), or send us an email at rectory@saintbenedicts.com to let us know you will be attending with the number joining us for dinner.
For families who want to attend, but whose children may be too young to participate in the discussions, we will have a few of our high school students available for child care from about 1:45 pm to 3:45 pm.
Everyone is welcome to attend Mass and share in the dinner. I sincerely hope you will be able to join us for this day.
If you are unable, you may email the parish at rectory@saintbenedicts.com with your comments or concerns.
