Education

To coordinate, constructively channel, oversee and respond to the education and faith formation needs of the parish with special emphasis on how to live the vision in our daily lives.

The Education Commission provides a way

  • for for each of the boards involved in education to interact and gain a better knowledge of the parish-wide activities.

  • for information to be reported to the Pastoral Council

  • for the needs of each Board to be known

  • for publicizing the various educational activities.

To implement the goals from the parish survey each Board should brainstorm for one new way to pray this year, find ways to develop an awareness of the Parish Library, implement two new ways of informing parishioners about their ministries, and become aware of the ways Vatican II has influenced their ministry.

The Boards represented are

  • School Board

  • Religious Education Board

  • Youth Ministry

  • Adult Formation / Spiritual Life Board

The School Board has these standing committees:
Christian Leadership, Development and Finance, and Publicity

The Board has nine discerned members in addition to Father Jerome and Sister Dorothy.

The Board establishes the mission statement, sets goals and objectives, and decides long range as well as short range plans for the school.
