Religious Education Board Minutes

February 5, 2008

7:00 p.m.

Jesus, may I follow you more faithfully during Lent

Prayer was offered by Donna Mohr

Msgr. John spoke concerning the restructuring of staff.  He has three main priorities:

1)                  Female pastoral ministry

2)                  Continuation of RCIA partnership with St. Joseph Church

3)                  Workload of new position

Women at the Well, Mom’s and More, and Scripture Study programs may be able to run themselves with a staff person acting as liaison.  The staff person would attend the meetings as necessary.

Jeanette and Dona are scheduled to attend the Religious Education conference in Anaheim, CA, February 28 thru March 2.  More than 70,000 people attend this conference annually.  It is thought that many innovative RE ideas can be implemented at St. Mary’s as a result of attending this conference.

Msgr. John feels we have many untapped resources at St. Mary’s, and we can do many creative things.
