· To date, we have collected $440K towards the capital campaign. The roof, driveway, masonary work, lights, tree removal, and rectory work are complete and paid for. We have spent $334K. Upcoming projects include the kitchen vents, landscaping, and an update to our sign by the road.
Faith Formation (Cathy Reitz)
· The Youth Group parent meeting was held on September 11 with about 55 parents present.
· Margaret Osler and Marie Gredja are leading the 6-12 and K-5 youth groups respectively.
· The confirmation process this year is the same as last year.
· We are in good shape with catechists this year, although we could use some additional help with 5th grade.
· Cathy’s main focus this year will be to address adult education. She is currently planning the calendar.
· We need technology updates for our youth group, in particular, and for the parish, in general. Examples include flat screen TVs for the classrooms and computer equipment to take advantage of online educational material.

· The PPC bulletin board needs updated pictures and needs to be hung in the Narthex. Alan Carroll and Diana Dagger will update the pictures and Steve Dengler will hang it when ready.
· We will tackle updating our parish roster this year. Eileen Johnson will coordinate with Jan Harmon to get a current parish roster list. Our goal is to update our roster by identifying questionable families and confirming that they are still members or removing them from the roster.
· Weekly collections and increasing our use of EFTs should be handled by the stewardship committee
· Although we have some minor inconsistencies with masses between Resurrection and Assumption, these are minor and it is OK to continue these different practices.
· We need to identify what our long term (5+ years) goals should be
· Joe Dagger should give us a report of our newly founded communications ministry.
· Some families have not received statements for their capital campaign pledges. Fr. Ed will follow up with Karen Webb.
· Many churches have candles for parishioners to light which they use as a fund raiser. We should establish this at Resurrection. However, for fire code reasons, we may need to use electronic candles.
