DISCUSSION TOPICS
Deanery Council Update: Tim Bradbury presented the following questions that the Deanery Council would like the council members to think about: What initiatives are there to help families pass on the faith; What initiatives are available to draw people to the Church; What initiatives are in place for the youth to have a concrete experience with Christ in their lives?
New Parishioners: In order to gain broader insights on new Parishioners, more information will be collected during the registration process, at the new Parishioner dinner or other orientation channels. The main objective is to understand how new Parishioners heard about St. Alphonsus Parish, their areas of interest or organizations that Parish offer and other related factors that we as a Council can learn and grow from. The Parish Council continues to actively seek feedback. If Parishioners would like to share their thoughts, please email: xxx.xxx

More information on this and other related programs for that month will be published in the December e-newsletter as well as the December bulletin.
