PSR COMMITTEE MINUTES
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH, 2016 5:30 P.M.
Members present: Fr. Warren, Kristy Mull, Kathy Hammeke, Stacy Sanger, Michelle Kelty, Ben Ramsey
Kristy opened the meeting with the committee prayer.
Minutes from the previous meeting were approved.
Christmas: The Heart to Heart Ministry has asked to provide “Happy Birthday Jesus” cupcakes for the students after the Christmas pageant at Diversicare on the 21st of December. The committee approved the cupcakes. For the December 10th pageant, a hamburger and hotdog feed is planned. Ben will ask the Knights of Columbus if they would be able to cook for this since everyone else will be busy with the pageant. We have hamburgers, hotdogs, condiments, and chips already. All that is needed is buns, which we can probably get from Sonic again.
Penance service: The Penance service is Wednesday, December 14. The catechists will start bringing students to the church at 6:15 so the service can begin at 6:30. The highschool students will go through the Act of Contrition with Michelle and come over to the church at 7:15 since they can stay later than elementary students.
Confirmation: A two year program for Confirmation was discussed. What day of the week to hold confirmation class was also discussed. Sunday night looks like the best option since Wednesday night would require the students to miss out on youth group. Requiring service hours, attending a retreat (perhaps TEC), and an open book “exit exam” were also considered. Ten service hours per year for a total of 20 hours was suggested. Serving at Mass, doing Children's Dismissal, helping serve dinners at the Knights of Columbus, are several examples of things that would qualify for service hours. Confirmation curriculum choices were presented by Stacy. The committee approved the purchase of the “Chosen” series.
Finances: Ben presented the balance sheet for the month of October.
Next meeting is Thursday, December 22 at 6:30 in the conference room.
