Parish Pastoral Council

February 2007 Meeting Minutes

Minutes from the meeting held on February 27, 2007.

The meeting began with a Scripture reading and the parish prayer.

There was a special presentation at the parish council meeting. It was called “Sparking Youth Ministry.” Mr. Stephen Colella from the Office of Youth Ministry conducted it. He is the coordinator of training and formation. Several parishioners who work with youth programs also attended. The PowerPoint presentation was very informative.  It talked about how to go about setting up a youth ministry program. It mentioned pitfalls and how to avoid them. Steve stressed the fact that we should go slowly and do the research beforehand. 

The meeting closed with a prayer.

Those in attendance were Norma Murphy, Julia Greene, Mary Beth O’Sullivan, Father McGowan, Father O’Brien, Judy O’Toole, Howard Lotis, Debbie Reardon, Carol DeSouza,  Marge O’Day, Arlene Dooley, Ilene Squires, Tom Yotts, Paul Hines, Dan Ladik, Ralph  Paul and Margaret Kinsella.

The next Parish Council meeting will be held on March 27 at 7:30 PM at the rectory.
