Your contributions will be gratefully accepted any time now. Use the bin at the en-

After an opening prayer we reviewed our discussions of the first meeting
on June 30, 2021. Fr. Frank reminded the members that the purpose of
the council is to listen to the needs of the parish, give advice to the pastor
and assist with long-range pastoral planning. The Council learned more
about the “essence” of parish life and how the Council can be more “pastoral” as it serves the parish. There
are seven (7) major pieces to parish life.
(1) Evangelization is the over-arching purpose of the parish community. Not only do we reach out to those
who do not share the Catholic Faith, but most of all we “re-evangelize” those in our community and invite
them to renew their faith and active life in the Church. Everything we do in the parish revolves around Evange-
lization.
(2) Worship is the heart of the parish. Sunday Mass, Eucharist and all the Sacraments are our life-blood. The
stronger our celebration of Sunday Mass, the stronger is our parish family.
(3) The Word of God directs all that we do and is our constant challenge and our consolation. This happens
when the Word is proclaimed at Mass, when the Word is shared with our young people, when adults gather to
learn more about the Word of God and when we pray privately with the Scriptures.
(4) Community is the goal of our Evangelization, Sunday Worship and the Word of God. We strive to ensure all
are welcome and find a parish where they feel at home.
(5) Service is our expression of our living faith: Love of God and Love of Neighbor. We work to find new ways
to serve the poor and the marginalized in our community.
(6) Stewardship, sharing our time, talent and treasure, is how we have the resources to Evangelize and be a
parish community. We depend on our ministries, volunteers and our financial resources.
(7) Finally, leadership holds the parish together and gives new life and direction. Fr. Frank listens to the advice
of the Pastoral Council as we plan for the future of our parish.

Pastoral Council Members, 2021-2022
Thank you to all those who have supported our Hymnal Drive
through memorializing hymnals. At this time, all of our 550
hymnals and 40 choir hymnals have been sponsored.
However, we have a sizeable deficit in the cost of the project
(almost $2000). If you wish to support the Hymnal Drive through
a donation, this will be greatly appreciated and a help to our par-
ish as we struggle to meet our parish expenses.
August 15, 2021
Bishop Barres lifted the obligation to
attend Mass on Sundays and Holydays of
Obligation throughout the pandemic.
The obligation to attend Mass is reinstated as of Sun-
day, August 15th, the Solemnity of the Assumption of
the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Thanks to all those who volunteered to
prepare our new hymnals for us to use!
