Advisory Board Meeting Minutes: Meeting on January 28, 2007

Opening Prayer and Formation

1. Discussion and reflection upon Family Retreat held on January 20. Consensus decision of the board was to extend the final Eucharist preparation session and implement a retreat experience with the children/parents in the classes. This would be designed into the program for the Spring 2008 formation process. The teachers and parents will be surveyed from this Spring’s group of families to see if it might be workable for the final session for this current process.

10. A consensus decision from the Board was to advise that 6th grade should be included in the middle school / junior high ministry. The change should be made for the coming R.E. year. (’07-’08)
