It is always good to review and renew. As we create a new faith
community, our goal to minister together at St. Michael's & Sacred
Heart. This means a new Pastoral Plan, Strategic Financial Plan and a
unified Personnel Plan for our faith community. A transitional Pastoral
Council has been named that will guide us in the formation of a
permanent Pastoral Council for the cluster which should be in place by
January. A Finance Committee is being formed that will create a
Strategic Financial Plan, oversee employee assessments, review quarterly
expenses/receipts and report to the parish annually. We have already
begun to work out some of the principles of cost sharing and
transitioning. There is also a need for a building committee for each
parish. Summer is a good time to mull over some of these things so that
in September we can minister together in St. Michael's & Sacred Heart
Faith Community.
