SACRED HEART PARISH
ADULT RELIGIOUS FORMATION TEAM
April 2, 2013
PRESENT: Sister Irene Hartman, Sister Rebecca Otter, Father Warren Stecklein, Diane Dodez, Lynne Eck, and Regis Lopata
The minutes from the meeting of February 12, 2013 were reviewed and approved as written.
The team planned the topics for the “So Glad You Asked” column for the Sacred Heart Beat for the next few months. The May issue will have an article on stewardship of the earth, which will be written by Tom Giessel. For the June newsletter, the plans are to ask one of the Sisters in Great Bend to write about global warming. Diane will write about prayer for July; Regis about the Mass in August; Sister Rebecca about evangelization for September; and Lynne will write about outreach for October.
Plans were also made for topics for the monthly Adoration/Holy Hours. The following were scheduled for the next few months with the individual responsible for the planning of the Holy Hour:
April – Earth Day – Sister Irene
May – farming and agriculture – Diane
June – Life, Marriage, and Liberty – Regis
July – Vocations (employment, underemployment, unemployment) –
Diane
August – school and education – Sister Irene
There was discussion about the Year of Faith study groups that are being held by parishioners. Some of the groups have already completed the four sessions, while others have had their initial meeting.
Elaine Coulson has resigned from this team, and there was discussion about possible replacements for her. A couple of names were suggested, and Diane will visit with one of the individuals to see if they would be interested in becoming a member of this team. Sister Irene asked to step down as chairperson of the team, and it was decided that Sister Rebecca and Diane would co-chair the team. Regis will continue in his position as the recorder.
The next meeting of the Adult Religious Formation Team will be on June 4, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at the Sisters’ house.
