- Liturgical & Spiritual Life Commission: Father Thom said the Christmas planning will take place at our meeting on Saturday, Nov.22nd. There will be no Children’s Mass at CCW this year as all the chairs are in St. Mary church. An additional Mass has been added at 6 PM on Christmas Eve, which will be designated as the Children’s Mass. There will also be a 4 PM Mass along with the 8:30 and 11:00 PM Masses. The 4 PM and 6 PM Masses will have arrangements made for overflow in St Edwards Hall. On Christmas day the Masses will be at 8:00 and 10:00 AM. There is a sub-committee that will meet for the planning of the Dedication Mass. No set date for the dedication yet but it will be on a Saturday morning at 10:30 AM and it will be designated as Dedication weekend. The closing of St Mary would be the weekend prior to the dedication and looking at maybe Bishop Franklin doing this closing ceremony. Looking at maybe February 14th for dedication and if not then the first week of March, due to the CEW weekends for the Men and Women. Discussion followed.
- Social Action Commission: No written report. Marc stated they had not met but he mentioned the Peru celebration.
Finance Commission: No written report. Ed mentioned we had a very good October partially in due to the Cuneen Appeal – 1688 families in parish and 774 envelope users and we have heard from 342 envelope givers with an increase. Summarizing it is $2305 per week and outright gifts of $8225. Ed stated this is outstanding considering all the bad economic news. One of the expenses we had in October was paying the shortfall of $9968 to the Diocese for our commitment to ADA. Ed stated we are at 50% of goal for the ADA this year.
Faith Formation Commission: No written report. Mary Jo Dopson stated that they have not had a meeting since October and with people gone they will be rescheduling their meeting.
