  • Friday July 31st is the staff retreat. It is being held in the church. The theme is Compassion at the Work Place.
  • Sacraments, which were originally going to be held in May for the children, are happening now with 3 different Masses.
  • The 9 am daily Mass has been moved back to 7 am.
  • Evangelization is the key mission of our church. Because of the pandemic we cannot evangelize the same way. We need something more to engage our community. Fr. Raj is meeting with the evangelization team to plan activities.
  • Fr. spoke about the reopening of school in August. Safety is our priority. We will follow the directive of the diocese and community. Shelly stated that the school is on track to begin distance learning on August 10th. She will decide in one week if they will go to the hybrid plan.
  • Fr. is satisfied with the school roof installation that is currently underway.
  • Thanks to donations from a generous parishioner the school has been able to order everything needed to open school safely.
  • Yvonne asked if the preschool is opening. It is opening on August 6th. Steve Cunningham and Shelly are sharing the director role. Jill Wagner is taking on some of the director’s responsibilities as well.
  1. Parish Manager Report:
  • Current June collection numbers: plate collection is $51,907 and online giving is $55k. Online giving has increased due to the matching donor contribution program. This money will be used for evangelization efforts.
  • Lollar Electric underestimated how long it would take to remove the solar panels; it was supposed to take 2 days but it took 5. It should be done tomorrow. The diocese will perform onsite inspections at least twice during the project.
