Ben Logan
gave an update on the building project. He has
spoken with Bill Dunning, business manager for the diocese, who stated that there were
very few comments made by the diocesan architect after his review of the plans for the new
parish hall. The comments were to be mailed in
a letter. Ben will review these points, get
them resolved and a letter mailed back to the diocesan architect resolving these points. Plans are to schedule a meeting as soon as possible
regarding finances for the new building.
Discussion
was held regarding the following items:
§
Updating
church directory
§
Security
for church and sacramental records
§
Repair of
doorbells at rectory – currently none of them are working
§
Replacement
of back doors to church – the sacristy
door and the door where altar servers dress
§
Have
education building professionally cleaned. One
bid has been received and are awaiting another. Once
bids are in, Father will make the decision and have building cleaned.
§
Hiring of
part-time church secretary. It was felt that
having someone part-time would help the church run more smoothly and efficiently.
§
Implement
the Welcome Committee (time and talent survey) – Some suggestions included welcoming
new parishioners by asking them to coffee and donuts and visiting with them and also
announcing new parishioners at mass.
§
End of
year contribution statements will tentatively be mailed the second week in January. Julia requested that an announcement be placed in
bulletin prior to mailing so parishioners will be looking for their statement. She ask that everyone review for accuracy and to
call her with any questions.
