Youth Group Report:
Hally-- December is less busy, but busy enough.
Kids had a great time at the
House of Charity trip in November. Some teens did prep work (chopping), besides the usual serving. Also, it was an eye opener for them because some of the visitors to the meal were not typical.
The
Advent/Christmas party is in two weeks.
On the third weekend of January there will be a
lock-in here, which is super-fun for the kids, but exhausting for the adults.
A meeting for
the HS Mission trip to Great Falls, MT through Young Neighbors in Action is Sunday, December 16, at noon in the St. Mary room. Need a deposit and ‘hard’ commitment by the end of January. Various fundraising events will occur, hopefully led by parents and teens. Theresa suggested that Youth Ministries speak from the pulpit to get families more engaged. And to have them sign up for specific duties to divvy up all of the parts. Will repeat “little bags of hope” like last year, because it was so successful. The team will meet to put together the calendar.
CYC is March 1-3 in Spokane.
FF Report:
Theresa – For a couple of classes, there is only 1 teacher and
parents have been signing up to be the
second adult in the classroom. This has been working well most weekends. Lainie Perry, longtime sixth grade teacher, is moving over break, so we will
combine 5th & 6th gr. in the Holy Family room with Kevin Johnston as the lead teacher.
First Reconciliation is on Wednesday, December 5, with 28 children.
Next semester the children will concentrate on
Confirmation & 1st Eucharist.
RCIA has 11 inquirers.
Children’s Choir has been practicing led by Dan Jinguji.
The
Christmas story at the 4:30 pm December 24 Mass is led by Jill Patera. She has asked for help with some new costumes and a backdrop. A doll will be used this year.
Various
scouts are working on their religious
awards.
Just Matters concluded Cultivating Non-Violence with an immersion event at AVTP, and all learned a lot. Will discern the next step and another possible 8 week session.
Women’s Retreat had 15 women attend and all had a great time. Already have deposit down and reservation for next year on Veterans Day weekend.
Disciples in Dialogue: Was a big hit, with a variety of people. People are already asking for the next one.
Adult Study: There was much discussion about details for the next session, with no conclusions made. It is challenging to balance content, time, location, etc. with liturgical season and other events. Staff will discuss.
Pastoral Council Commission presentation: Tammy volunteered to present on January 13. Members will give feedback and Tammy will compile. Questions are: What has our program done? What are we doing now? What do we plan for the future? And how can the pastoral council help with obstacles and challenges. An email will be sent, please respond!
Children’s Mass: Next on January 13 at the 8:30 am Mass, with fifth grade leading.
Next meeting is Tues., January 8 (NOT Jan. 1) at 7 pm, St. Charles room. Opening prayer: Theresa; Closing prayer: Jon; Provide refreshments: Diane.
