Old Business
 

• The revised PC Bylaws were adopted by consensus and implemented.  It was noted now with the revised by-laws, the Deacon, Associate Pastor, and a representative of the Finance Council are ex-officio voting members.

 

• The Council recognized the hard work of the 50^th Anniversary Committee, noting that the recent reception Mass and picnic in June were great!

 
 

• Committee Reports:

• Parish Life:  Nancy Maloney
  • They are pursuing a Youth Basketball team.
  • Resurrection has been signed up for Newark Community Day on Sept 15.  More information will be published soon, and help staffing the booth is requested.
  • It was suggested that this be published in the bulletin and weekly newsletter.

 
New Business

• An announcement was made regarding the next PC meeting on September 8, noting that new officers would be elected and PC goals need to be set for the coming year.
  • The goal setting portion of the meeting will be planned by Sharon Gidumal, Joe Quinn, and Father Bill.  A facilitator will be used.

 

 
 
Thoughts/Guidance from Father Bill

• Regarding Parish goals: 
  • Need to “flesh out”/improve standing committees
  • Need to improve communications/PR
  • Would like to increase volunteers in Pastoral Care for the sick and  abandoned
    • Not too concerned about other Social Justice activities – believes we are known as a parish with active Social Justice ministries.

 
Before the meeting was adjourned, Jim Murray asked for the Parish to consider a $175 sponsorship for an event to benefit Jesus House and asked how that could happen.   That will be pursued.
 
The meeting was adjourned at 8:55 pm
 
 
 
 
Respectfully submitted,
