Dan Storto, Chairman Ralph Schumann, Vice Chairman Sue Olafson, Corresponding Secretary Meeting Day: Third Monday of every month Time: 7:00-9:00 PM All parishioners are welcome and encouraged to attend. Commission Awareness Month Back in May I spoke about the progress of the Parish Pastoral Council and all of the great things that the Commissions and Ministries have accomplished over the last two years. Since that time the commissions and their ministries continue to work hard at developing programs and activities that support and identify the needs of the parishioners. During the month of October we will once again highlight the four commissions Education, Spiritual Life, Human Concerns and Parish Life. Each week a commission will be showcased in Shea Hall after each of the masses. As parishioners you will have an opportunity to preview each of the commissions and the various ministries. Our goal is to grow the St. Julian community through increased participation in the ministries. In order to grow the community of faithful and create increased participation and expansion of activities and services we need additional participation. The more parishioner involvement the more St. Julian can offer to the community. We invite you to join us each Sunday to take a look and see what each of the commissions has to offer. Understanding that in today’s busy world it can be difficult to find time and commitment to be involved in Church ministry. So whether you can help on a full time or part time basis or as needed we welcome your participation. I look forward to seeing you after the masses. Thank you. Dan Storto Chairperson, Parish Pastoral Council
