Notes from the June 21, 2010 Pastoral Council meeting
The meeting opened with prayer at 7 p.m. Present were: Father Nick, Joanne Batcha, Joe Batcha, Sandy Farnsworth, Don Penrod, Arnnie Shullick, Mark Teleha and Madeline Zaworski. Excused were: Anne Dillon and Sue Druga. There were no changes to the notes of the May 24 meeting.
The first item was an evaluation of the parish picnic. All agreed that the stated purposes were accomplished: fellowship, homecoming, evangelization and worship, and that the picnic should be held again next year. A particular strength mentioned was the large selection of desserts. Problems to avoid next year were: too early clean-up, note that the outdoor games should be noted that they are for adults as well as youths. Another suggestion was to put a stronger emphasis on the homecoming aspect of the picnic.
The next item was a decision about the specifics of the parish day at the Lake Erie Crushers. The final decision was to go with the third base party porch. The cost will be $7.50 for children under 12 years old and $15 for others.
In the absence of Sue Druga, Father Nick gave the ECF report. The summer program is scheduled for Monday, July 26 through Wednesday, July 28. Each day begins with gathering in 8:15 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. Each day combines class work, activity and prayer.
The Council decided that Sept. 29 would be the date for the annual volunteer appreciation dinner. It will be at German’s. If that date is not available, then the alternate is Sept. 22. [Sept. 29 is confirmed.]
Father Nick gave an update on our participation in the Lorain International Festival parade. We will have a float in the parade. St. Nicholas and children, along with the Byzantine Singers, will be on the float. Construction of the float will be on Saturday, June 26, starting at 10 a.m. The parade begins at 11:30 a.m., Sunday, June 27.
Joanne Batcha gave the report about the ladies organization. Their retreat is scheduled for June 30. Sister Carol will be conducting it. Madeline Zaworski said that she has received several responses and is inviting other people to participate, especially graduates of our school. The program begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 1 p.m. It is intergenerational. The lunch will be salads, a chicken dish and pot luck. Joanne Batcha further announced that the next regular meeting would be in July.
The meeting adjourned with prayer at 7:55 p.m.
The next meeting is scheduled for Aug. 23 and will be primarily about setting the yearly parish calendar.
