Implementation Ideas and Actions

Tried to use the email of parishioners and students more efficiently.  More timely in getting in touch with the signees.  Overall results with regard to volunteers was only marginally more effective.  (Sept 2005)

 

Made the same effort with regard to liturgical ministers.  This seems to be a real improvement. It also gives the opportunity to thank the ministers and continue to encourage them. (Sept 2005)

 

Have initiated ministry to the sick.  (Janet Hogan.)  A much needed effort.  Just in the beginning stages but showing a lot of promise. (Nov 2005)
