The St. Francis Coordinating Committee was formed in August 2008 and is the direct result of research conducted by the Mission Committee that was commissioned by Fr. Sandy McDonald in September 2007.
It is composed of the representatives of St. Francis to the parish wide committees, several members-at-large and it includes the "special to St. Francis" areas of: Coordinator/Liaison, Building & Environs, Friends of the Food Pantry, Grounds, Mass Coordinator and Women's Club.
It meets "as needed" and contact is maintained between meetings via e-mail. There are no officers. A non-voting, "Facilitator" serves as the central conduit, gathering and creating the Agenda; guiding the meeting through that Agenda and compiling and sharing with members and the Parish Council, a synopsis of the accomplishments of the meeting.
In this way, assistance is offered to our clergy and congregation in administration of the St. Francis Mission Church. The committee's goal is to be a central conduit for activities that use the facility; to generate interest and availability of faith enrichment opportunities; to maintain the lay support of each Mass that is offered here and to keep this church's building and grounds well maintained and safe while contributing to and cooperating and communicating with the congregations of the other churches of this Parish.
Any non-personal matter regarding St. Francis should be brought before the Committee. The Committee Liason is then asked to contact the appropriate authority, etc.
