Each Commission was reminded by Hortense to review their work including goals and accomplishments. These reports should be submitted by Friday, June 19, 2015.
Commissions were reminded to review the Ministries Directory and provide updates to Michelle Gosom.
Discussion was held on new appointments to the Parish Council. Brad will continue on the Parish Council from the Administration Commission but one additional appointment is needed. Ron Delahoussaye was asked to serve in this capacity. He said he would consider it and let us know.
The Administration Commission discussed new appointments. It was felt that we need at least 2 more members on this Commission. Robert recommended George Pavlina. This name will be given to Hortense as a replacement. Robert expressed the thought that the Commission needed someone with a construction background. More thought will be given to additional names for service on the Administration Commission.

The group discussed the report submitted. Discussion ensued. The first item discussed was posting the offertory amounts. Discussion centered on posting a total of each Sunday's or each monthly's total. Posting the Financial Report to the Archdiocese did not seem like a good idea. However, some type of simplified annual report would be something that should be considered.
Time ran out for the rest of the agenda.
Two Minute Reports from each of the Commissions.
