Christian Enrichment Committee (CEC): Cathy spoke to Bob and reported over thirty people attended the Committees "Night on Prayer" and that it was very well received. The Committee was encouraged with the turn out and success. They are currently working on finalizing the survey that was conducted. The CEC made a firm decision not to combine their Committee with the Spiritual Growth Committee, unless they would have four or five new, committed members. Spiritual Growth Committee: No activity. Community Formation Committee: No activity. (Ad-Hoc) Parish Hall Committee: Patrick said that he met with Carol Jacobsen. New procedures for use of the hall have been established.

Both the Christian Family Movement (MFC) and the Directiva will celebrate children with fun and gifts on April 28th (MFC) and April 29th (Directiva). Finance Board: Patrick said that there had been some reclassifications of salaries, but they were basically a wash. The Board was advised of the Pastoral Councils idea of forming a sub committee for the Capital Campaign.

He reported that the School Board has budgeted for 255 students and at the time of this meeting there are 252 students. NEW BUSINESS: Patrick said that the Girl Scouts donated and planted the brick planter in front of the Church. He said, for a small amount of money, he purchased the brick border and planting bark. The Girl Scouts did the rest and it looks great. Pictures were taken and forwarded to Fr. McCain in Italy. The PC congratulated on a job well done! OLD BUSINESS: The sub committee for the Capital Campaign has been formed. Volunteers for this sub committee are: Steve Morris and Eris Rodriguez, Pastoral Council, Greg Erigero and Bill Stewart, Finance Board, Dan Kelly and John Arruda, School Board and Sue Maino, Principal of OLL School.

The Monthly Giving Program will be presented and approached again in the coming months.

She will put an appeal into the bulletin.
