Adult Religious Formation

The purpose of the Adult Religious Formation team is to strive to show leadership in the journey of faith and renewal of all parishioners in accord with Church teachings and diocesan policies. This includes renewal programs for those serving in Church ministries, basic teachings on Church doctrines, the welcoming home Catholic outreach and family nights to involve the entire program.

SACRED HEART PARISH

ADULT RELIGIOUS FORMATION TEAM

April 10, 2012

 PRESENT:  Sister Irene Hartman, Sister Rebecca Otter, Father Warren Stecklein, Diane Dodez, and Regis Lopata                        ABSENT:  Elaine Coulson, Lynne Eck

 The minutes of the meeting of February 21, 2012 were reviewed and approved.

 The team reviewed the presentation of the video on Reconciliation, which was shown in the parish several times during Lent.  We did not have a lot of parishioners attend the showings, but the video was appreciated and enjoyed by those who attended.

 The team also reviewed our faith-sharing sessions during Lent, using the “Disciples on the Journey” booklets.  The team had a positive response to these sessions, and will consider using the same program for faith-sharing sessions for the parish next year in Lent.  We will do some planning for these sessions before the start of the Lenten season.

 Sister Irene announced that we have not been informed at this time of any involvement of this team in the parish centennial celebration.

 There was some discussion about membership on the ARF team, but no specific decisions were made at this time.  This will be discussed again in a future meeting. 

 The team members reviewed the charter that had been developed with Father Bernard Felix when he appointed this team.  The team has completed some, but not all of the expected outcomes that were listed in our charter. 

 Adoration is scheduled for the parish on April 18th from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.  The theme of the adoration will be on vocations.

Regis announced that there will be a diocesan-wide training on RCIA presented on the ITV network on April 18th from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.  Several members of the ARF team plan to attend the training.

 There was considerable discussion regarding the possibility of having a parish mission or some type of speaker for the parish in the future.  No specific decisions were made at this time, but this will again be considered in future meetings. 

 The next meeting of the Adult Religious Formation Team will be on June 12, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the Sisters’ house.
