Faith Formation Board Meeting
March 3, 2020
 
Present:  Penny Zimmerman, Sue McNamara, Theresa Paul, Wendy McCann, Jon Parrish, Mary Johnson, Jane Hommel, and Dave Schneider.
 
Youth Report: Linea – Sue read the report since Linea was ill. 
CYC is this weekend, Mar. 6-8, in Spokane and four youth are going. The date was in conflict with other events, so group is smaller this year. 
Youth Group is responsible for Coffee and Donuts on March 15. 
Adoration night on March 15 at 6:30 pm (This has been cancelled). Again, all are invited.  There will be less incense and more Spanish songs.  
Mission trip:  Fundraising is going really well!  Need more chocolate bars?
 
RE Report: Theresa reported that the catechists shared their concerned about kids not coming, some due to planned absences. Theresa wrote a letter to parents asking to let us know about planned absences. We have seen a marked improvement in notifying us of absences.
LA Religious Education Congress:  Linea’s first time. We were both ‘overwhelmed and impressed.’ There are approximately 25 workshops to choose from for each of the eight sessions. Theresa chooses topics 1/3 job-related, 1/3 self-sustaining (spirituality) and 1/3 to broaden her horizons. Linea chose Youth Group sessions mainly. There were many options for Mass from different perspectives. African perspective Mass, especially, was fun to celebrate! Each evening there are about eight different styles/languages to choose from, plus opening and closing Mass.
Adult Study: - Tammy has two of three more lessons for Lent. (meetings 3/1, 3/8, and 3/15). After Easter- Women in the Bible, presented by Mary Johnson. - four dates after Easter- then we’ll advertise.
