Last Saturday, June 27, the parish pastoral council met for our final gathering until Fall 2009. We began with a reflection from Mark 4: Jesus Calms the Seas, and shared our journey together as a parish through the recent Spring and upcoming Summer activities and ministries. We also shared results from the small group meetings on the parish mission statement and reflected on the parish response. We closed the meeting in gratitude for everyone’s leadership and service this year on the council. This Fall will begin a new council, with all those serving three years or more rotating off and those serving less than three years remaining, with the addition of new council members.
