Pastor's Report
• The school year got off to a great start and families did an
excellent job pledging to try and make this is great school year.
• We are still waiting for several families to submit their tithing cards
for next year but the outlook so far shows very little dollar increase.
There may be a need for a parents meeting again in February so we can give
our teachers a raise.
• A new server system is being added to the parish to link all computer
systems in the different buildings together. This will allow for in house
e-mail, access to calendars, etc. Once completed, all employees will then
receive a new e-mail address.
• There has been a change in the sacramental preparation for second
graders to involve the parents.
• This Sunday, Nov. 5th, after the 10:30 mass there will be a listening
session for the 5-day school and RE program.

outstanding teacher award.
