The Pastoral Council needs your help in implementing the 2010-2011 Evangelization Goals. Throughout the summer, we will be publishing needs and highlights of our implementation plan.
New Ministry: Greeters
As highlighted in the bulletin, St. Paul's is developing a new ministry, "Greeters" at each mass. If you are interested in helping, please contact our parish office.
The following are updates from the June 16th Pastoral Council Meeting.
The Brown House demolition will begin on Tuesday, July 6th, with an estimated completion of 2.5 weeks.
The detailed blueprints for the New Evangelization Center are going through the "Check Print" phase by both the parish and the Archdiocese. It is estimated that bids for the new building bill be released later this summer.
The goals and implementation plans for the parish Evangelization theme that was worked on at the June 5th retreat were reviewed and expanded at the meeting. Check here for the listing of the 2010-2011 Evangelization Goals.
On Saturday June 5th, fourteen members of the St. Paul’s Pastoral Council gathered at the Shrine of St. Anthony for a day long retreat. The experience was absolutely fabulous; the day was filled with prayer, guest speakers, and extensive discussion on how the Pastoral Council can serve the parishioners and community of St. Paul’s as we as a parish focus on Evangelization.
The theme for our retreat was Evangelization; Walking in the Footsteps of St. Paul. Our efforts and prayers resulted in nine (9) Goals for the Pastoral Council to work on in 2010-2011, and forty (40) actions to consider for implementation toward our goals. As we work through the implementation plans over the next several weeks we will be sharing those details and asking for your help, so look for more communications from the Pastoral Council through the bulletin and our Website.
The Council did generate a theme for the parish as we move forward in our ministry of evangelization; “Disciples in Action”. Our plans and goals are centered on this theme; we want everyone in the local community to recognize the parishioners of St. Paul’s as true disciples of Jesus Christ through our actions. Since we all are SPECIAL children of God, we identified characteristics that defines’ us as “Disciples in Action”;
S – Serving
P – Prayerful
E – Educators
C – Caring
I – Integrators
A – Awareness
L - Loving
Be on the lookout for examples of our parishioners demonstrating their abilities to be; “Disciples in Action”.
