Listening Session Update
• Facilitators Report- Everyone was pleased with the large turnout of parishioners.  Most people had a positive message. People liked the name tags, prizes and most of all the chance to express their thoughts.

• Where do we go from here?  All responses were categorized. There was a discussion on how to address the various categories. Each member of the council chose an item to further explore and then report to the group.  For example, the discussion of a Youth Minister. We are going to meet again on Tuesday evening, November 7 from 7-9 pm to work on the responses.
