New Life Committee For St. Alphonsus
You might recall that the minutes of our Parish Council's August 2, 2004 meeting said it was working on a new committee on "Parish Life." Last Sunday's parish bulletin [pdf .8mb, p. 4] announces a meeting tonight.
I can't tell if this committee is new in the sense that it's replacing the old committee or new in the sense the Parish Council has finally got to the point of announcing it.
The parish website has this on donations by the Outreach Committee.
That it's no one's job to catch that there's information on the parish web site that's eight years out of date says something about communication, leadership, and responsiveness. And maybe the solution is not likely to lie in yet another committee and yet more meetings. ¶ 1/24/2006 08:00:00 AM
Help bring NEW LIFE to our faith community! Come join us ... for an informal conversation on what we need to form a vibrant and meaningful NEW LIFE committee for St. Alphonsus.
I can't tell if this committee is new in the sense that it's replacing the old committee or new in the sense the Parish Council has finally got to the point of announcing it.
We'll be discussing ways to better communicate to all parishioners, how to nurture leaders, how to respond to the needs of our parish and broader community, how to be people of hospitality and people of joyful service to others.
The parish website has this on donations by the Outreach Committee.
For the fiscal year 1997-98 that amount will be $62,250.

Sadly, while St. St. Alphonsus wesite might be stuck in the 90's, I hear that it's liturgy is stuck in the 70's.
