The meeting began at 7:00 pm with a prayer composed by Sr. Judy.  The following members were present:  Kathy Gier, Jim Franz, Jackie Rachwal, Jacob Rachwal, Larry Stiller, Fr. Jim Bartnik and guest Rose Stang

 

COMMITTEE REPORTS:

  • Fr. Jim informed the members of an official meeting mandated by the chancery and required 4 times a year with a written report describing what was accomplished during the meeting.  Fr. Jim and the two trustees make up the participants.
     

  • March 19 will be the date for the Charity Breakfast
     

NEW BUSINESS:

  • There has been some attrition of membership on the parish council.  Father has pointed out that each of the parish ministries should have representation on the council.  Someone will concoct parishioners who act as lectors, extra ordinary ministers of Holy Communion, the Heavenly Helpers, Altar and Rosary Society, Holy Name Society, Buildings and Grounds, alter servers, Catholic Charities, the annual chicken dinner, pro-life and bible study in order to find people willing to serve on the council.  Rose Stang was appointed at this meeting to represent the Bible Study group.

  • A note from John Wittmeyer was read announcing the Albany Prayer Rally for April 4.  Deadline for signing up is March 20.  A bus will leave Fr. Justin council early int he morning and return about 9:00 p.m.

  • A vicariate meeting of priests was recently held.  Fr. Jim brought us up to date on some of the issues discussed.  A warning about fraud and scam artists by Bruce Evert.  Take home was check invoices and throw away signature stamps.  All changes will be by vicariate and will be gradual.  The seminary is important for the diocese and will stay.  Regular feedback from cluster meetings can be expected.

  • At this year's youth convention, a youth congress on the strategic planning procuess was held.  Father reported that many ideas and good suggestions flowed from the assembled youth sitting at 12 tables for discussion.

  • We have 21 confirmation candidates this year.

Respectfully Submitted:
