MERGER CORNER
The Transitional Ministry Committee met Sept. 16. Among the recommendations made by the Transitional Ministry Committee to the Priest Co-Conveners and Core Team is that ministries should remain in the churches that currently run them but that a common bulletin should be created and dispersed at all four merging churches announcing all ministry events for all parishes. The Transitional Ministry Committee will meet again on Sept. 30, 2009 at St. Teresa's.
The Core Team also formed a committee to write a Mission Statement for Holy Cross Parish using guidelines supplied by the Diocese. That committee will meet Oct. 5, 2009.
If you have any questions about the merger of the four parishes or wish to provide input, please contact one of the Priest Co-Conveners or a Core Team member.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!
This year's Chicken BBQ was a great success! We sold out of chickens, all 1400 dinners! There were so many wonderful people from all four parishes pitching in to make it such a great event. We want to thank everyone who came out to help on Friday for prepping food, Saturday for setting up tents and getting chickens, and on Sunday for any and everything that needed doing. If this is any indication of the future, Holy Cross parish is going to have an enormous Chicken BBQ!! If was a pleasure working with all of you who volunteered, we couldn't have done it without you! We are looking forward to seeing even more people lending a hand for next year! God Bless, From the Contino and Maier Families

MERGER CORNER
The Core Team's Transitional Finance and Facilities Committee formed a Human Resources subcommittee that will review the staffing needs of the new parish and report back to the Core Team.
The Transitional Liturgy Committee met to review the lists of tasks sent by the Diocese for the committee to complete before the merger, and it was determined that the committee had addressed all of the issues. The Transitional Liturgy Committee also shared ideas about the Liturgy for the merger and will continue that discussion at the next meeting. Included in the agenda for the next meeting will be the formation of a Music Council.
The Transitional Ministry Committee also met and among the topics discussed was a Youth Ministry for the new parish.
The Core Team has also begun the process of writing a Mission Statement for the new parish through a subcommittee that will include members from each of the four merging parishes.
If you have any questions about the merger of the four parishes or wish to provide input, please contact one of the Priest Co-Conveners or a Core Team member.
