ABSENT:
The minutes from the meeting of August 4, 2016 were reviewed and approved as written.
The formation/training program for liturgical ministers provided by Fr. Bob Schremmer on August 21st went very well. Positive comments about the program were made by those attending.
The Patriotic Rosary that was held on September 7th also went very well. The commission members agreed to have another Patriotic Rosary on November 7, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. This will occur on the eve of the election.
The majority of the meeting focused on preparations for the upcoming program on the Eucharist, which will begin on October 2nd. Twenty-seven people have signed up for the Sunday sessions, and nine for the Wednesday evening sessions. It is expected that there will be others who have not yet signed up, but who will want to participate. Those who signed up for the Sunday sessions were divided into three small groups, with Regis, Mary, and Cathy as the group leaders. Other commission members will cover when a group leader is absent. The group leaders for the Wednesday sessions was previously set. Plans were made to purchase another copy of the book Eucharist by Bishop Barron. Study guides for all the participants will be ordered as well. There are prayer cards for the opening and closing prayers for each session. Plans were made for the meal at the first Sunday session.
The next meeting of the Adult Religious Formation Commission will be on November 3rd at 7:00 p.m. at the Parish Education Center.
