Additions/Changes to the Agenda:
None

Pastoral Concerns:
Fr Rob floated the idea of having a member of the Finance Committee meet with the Parish Council at the May 2009, Parish Council meeting. This would give the opportunity to anyone to voice concerns and give feed back before finalizing next years Budget. The Council meeting could focus on the routine business for half of the meeting and the financials the other half. The general consensus of the Council would be to give it a try. Fr Rob noted the Parish is still in the “black” which is a good thing.. Fr Rob also talked about a “Blessing of the Bikes & Breakfast” that would be scheduled for Saturday June 6, 2009. He forwarded flyers to the Council in promotion of the event. He (Fr Rob) would like to see this as an annual event. As things progress, he even envisioned having vendors, motorcycle dealers and interested parties having “booths” set up. Fr Rob noted he would like Sacred Heart to get together a “team” for the “2009 Relay for Life” event scheduled for June 27-28, 2009. Fr Rob also requested input from the Council on renovating the Parish Office. The Council took a tour of the current office and was advised what Fr Rob suggestions were. The work would not begin until after July 1st and because of a generous donation the issue of dipping into the Parish funds would not be a problem. Fr Rob also said there is a “Lenten Evening of Reflection” scheduled for March 11, 2009, with Fr Jankowiak the speaker. Father also stated there were 8 new altar servers trained and ready to be scheduled.

Commission Reports:

Education Commission:
Bernie Kubacki referred the Education Commission report to Sarah Thoms. Sarah reported the Youth Group would continue with the youth Mass . A graduation Mass would be on May 30, 2009 at the 5 pm liturgy. She reported there was a “Friday Game Night” scheduled for March 20, 2009 and 39 individuals attended the recent NET meeting. Sarah reported the Valentine’s Gala netted $420 and some members of the Youth Group attended the March for Life in Washington.

Liturgy Commission:
Dee reported there will be a soup supper prior to Fr Jankowiak’s lecture. She stated the Church cleaning went well. The Usher ministry has a list of responsibilities posted in the rear of the church for reference. Dee reported that on October 15, 2009 Sister Nancy Murphy will be in the Parish making a presentation about the “Life of St Catherine of Sienna.” This is a very inspiring presentation, and we were encouraged to keep the date open and more information will follow as time goes on. For now-mark your calendars and plan to attend.

Service Commission:
Dave Keller reported on the minimal number of parishioners attending the “Coffee & Doughnut fellowship” sessions after the Saturday 5 PM masses. He recommended a survey to see if the Saturday evening sessions were viable. He reported on the donations still coming in for the food pantry (this is a good thing) and a special “Food Pantry Collection” is being planned. He reported on the recent C.A.F.E. meal. Over 75 individuals attended, most of the details have been worked out, menus seem to meet approval, and the entire event seems to be doing okay. He is looking into a possible grant to help expand this ministry and may be even scheduling transportation for individuals who do not have it. The Next C.A.F.E. meal is scheduled for March 26, 2009 (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM).

Old Business:
Church Renovation Update:
Ted Polk reported on the fine tuning of the heating controls. He noted there should not be a “cold” spot in the Church, because there are 12 sensors strategically located to monitor temperature. The Air Conditioning portion of the project has not been started yet, but will be once the nicer weather arrives.

Appreciation Dinner:
It was noted the Parish Appreciation Dinner was a success, with a lot of individuals in attendance.

Mission Statement:
Fr Rob tasked each Council member with being prepared to discuss at the next Council meeting an updated Mission Statement.

New Business
None

Fr Rob's Comments:
Fr Rob led a brief discussion on Tithing and wanted the Council to be aware of the responsibility of stewardship placed on the Council.

Next Meeting:
The next meeting is scheduled for May 12, 2009 at 7:00 PM., and Jim Braun volunteered to be the prayer leader.
Closing prayer was lead by Sarah Thoms.

Adjournment:
A motion was made to close the meeting by Dave Keller and seconded by Ted Polk. A vote was called by Dee: yeas – all, nays - none. Motion carried. Meeting closed at 8:05 PM
