In-person Meeting
October 16, 2021
Council members present: Dan Canning, Rob Cassleman, Fr. Steve Dublinski, Aurora Horstkamp, Jim Lincoln, Eric Patera (Chair), Char Snekvik, and Charlotte Worthy.
Opening Prayer: Fr. Steve led the opening prayer.
Virus status report: Infections are down slightly in Whitman County, including eight cases in the Pullman schools. Deaths have risen significantly in the last week (10). Respiratory infections are up but COVID test are not. A doctor’s order/prescription is required.
Lentil Chili Feed: Will take place on November 6 and be held outdoors and indoors. This event is limited to Sacred Heart Church parishioners only. Special efforts will be made to use appropriate spacing and grouping members of the same family.
It was noted that the Faith Formation Board issued a challenge to Council members to dress up as a saint at the October 30-31 masses.
All Soul’s Remembrance Mass for the parish on Tuesday, November 2: Father will celebrate three times that day: the regular weekday mass times at 7:15 am and noon, and an evening mass, at 7 pm (indoors, and streamed). Note: since All Saint’s Day falls on a Monday and due to its proximity to Sunday, there is no obligation to attend mass on that Monday. Therefore, we will celebrate All Soul’s Day (Tuesday, November 2).
Youth Representatives. Linea will look for volunteers at the next Youth Group meeting.
Pastoral Council Retreat: is scheduled for Saturday morning, November 6 from 9 am-noon, held at the Parish Hall with Zoom meeting hook up for remote attendance. Topics include incorporating Bishop Daly’s call for synodality with the diocesan churches, reviewing our long and short term goals for the parish, and reviewing Rob’s request for clarification of processes related to committee selection and tenure.
Church facilities: what has happened to the Facility Study & Needs Assessment document created by Castellaw Kom Architects? A Facility Assessment and Needs Study was received in June of 2020. The initial estimates for building a church at another location appeared prohibitively expensive. The building committee has not obtained new, revised estimates from CKA. Father expressed interest in moving ahead with planning for updates to the existing location at the earliest possibility due to substantial lead time for obtaining funding/financing and other preparations.
Weekend masses at 8:30 and 10 am. Outdoor masses at 8:30 and 10 am will resume October 16/17 and may continue through the end of this month. In reviewing last week’s experience of indoor only mass with the option for in-person communion in the parking lot, Father said this will be the format used when inclement weather returns. An FM radio feed will also be available for those who want to attend mass in the parking lot. Father also decided to switch the live steam capture (available on SHC website) from 8:30 am Sunday to 4:30 pm Saturday mass.
Other items of note: A Hispanic Mass will be held next Sunday, October 24 at 5 pm.
In person vs. Zoom meetings: The council discussed the communication difficulties they have experienced with both Zoom meetings and in-person meetings. The Zoom meeting in early October had to be rescheduled because of problems getting into the meeting and screens freezing. The in-person meeting requires masks and created difficulties. Fr. Steve will work with Eric Patera, the chair, to come up with a workable format.
Next Council meeting: To be determined, in lieu of the November 6 Council Retreat.Closing prayer: Glory Be

Caritas Committee
Members research charities and decide which ones will receive money from the parish. In 1990 Sacred Heart's Pastoral Council decided the parish would spend a percent of its income on charity, gradually working up to 10%. It established the Caritas committee to disburse the funds. The percentage has varied over the years.
