RECAPPING THE LATEST STAFF NEWS . . .
(1) Cristina Czaia has been hired as our new Director of Music & Liturgy, effective September 5. She’s replacing Jill Kilzer, who’s retiring October 2.
(2) Youth Minister
We continue to search for a youth minister to serve our parish and St. Stan’s. (Interviews have begun.) In St. Stan’s case, they’re renewing a successful youth ministry program. In our case, we’re starting a program. I’m helping to recruit and interview youth ministry candidates in partnership with St. Stan’s; I’m also looking for youth group members and for adults interested in helping with this ministry. If interested, let me know.
VOLUNTEERS
• Many thanks to all who helped with strawberry cleaning this year! Special thanks to Mary Leibl, overall coordinator for this year’s effort. It’s a big job, and she did it well.
• Youth ministry helpers (see above)
• Library team (see below)
• Thanks to all who’ve helped with facilities work this summer (see below).
BOOK MINISTRY
In other words, a librarian here at St. Matt’s. I’m looking for one or more volunteers to manage books going onto our library shelves: helping people select books to read, checking books in and out, and keeping the shelves tidy. We already have books. Shelves are being donated. Who likes books?
FACILITIES
• We’re reviewing all security systems (cameras and door controls) proposals, in order to pick one and move ahead with that project. (We just received a proposal from the last company we interviewed. That phase is complete.)
• Church light #11 has finally been fixed. It no longer flickers. Thank you, Bob, Tom and Tony! I know it’s not easy to crawl around the catwalk above our church ceiling.
Thank you for your support, and have a great week!
