Several Council members are involved in many other activities in the parish, i.e. Men s Club, as Catechists, etc. We will also be recapping Pastoral Council accomplishments and goals during the Town Hall meeting, which should provide better insight into our areas of focus. The summary of Pastoral Council meeting minutes in the bulletin and the more detailed minutes on our SMMP website should also help to familiarize parishioners with our efforts. They may also participate in the parishioner input segment at the beginning of the meeting by contacting, Mike Hawley, President of Pastoral Council through the parish office. This will be on the agenda for the Town Hall Meeting and updates are provided in the bulletin.
Several locations are under consideration for building schools.
Q Many parishioners are concerned that adult programs will suffer once a new Catholic school is open. A Council has every intention of maintaining the integrity of all current programs regardless of the school issue. At this time there is no indication that the quality of current programs will be compromised should the parish decide to fully participate in creating additional Catholic education for our children. A regional Catholic elementary school has the potential of impacting this parish in a variety of ways. Pastoral Council is working closely with the Regional Catholic School Committee in an effort to understand the full impact of this project.
