This is the final year of Disciples in Mission. There are about 400 parishioners participating, which is down from previous years. The Bishop will conclude the program with a Mass on Pentecost Sunday.
It was reported that contributions were close to last year for the same period with 30 fewer parishioners donating. Crossing the Threshold pledges aren’t coming in as expected. The Chancery will be contacted to determine how the pledges were scheduled to be paid.
The "Southern Nebraska Register" subscription payments are due. Discussion was held on the importance of parishioners paying the $12.00 fee. The parish is assessed $12.00 for each household, therefore the church is responsible for the difference. Members of the Finance Committee are: Mike Jenkins, Bernie Kouma, Larry Kunc, Paul Reinsch and Fr. Tucker.
Parish Goals: Spiritual Life - A SINE Retreat will possibly be scheduled after Easter. The SINE program will continue to have retreats on a regular basis. Physical Plant - We will be contracting with a company to replace/repair the door hinges and closers throughout the church at a cost of $8,000.00. Tuition - will remain the same but is subject to review.
Teachers’ salaries were still under review. Benefits were a topic of discussion.
It was suggested that a pictorial display of members of our parish that are serving in the military be exhibited in the vestibule.
