Dan will work it out.

         f.       There are currently 160 people signed up for the 40 hours of adoration.  Fr. Arock is going to work on having a sheet of prayer suggestions for people to use for the adoration.  4 Candles will be used for the adoration.

        g.      Discussed having a Facebook page and the pros and cons.  Conclusion- Facebook should not be avoided out of fear.  Tim Weinmann is willing to come and advise and Kristy offered to help advise also. Need to speak with John Mitchell.

        h.      Discussed hymnbooks again-conclusion – We need a better assessment on what is practical for the Spanish speaking community before a decision is made.   Fr. Dan will talk to the comité.  The deadline to order the books is sometime in Sept, Karen Snider will check on it.

6.      Fr. Dan’s Remarks- He attended a Deanery meeting and discussed the need for a Spanish mass on Sunday morning.  He is proposing having a mass at 8am in the gym, where the kids could then go to formation class 9:30, which is a convenience. This could be for a trial basis of 3 months, provided he has support from other priests twice a month.  Before moving forward he is waiting to hear if the adult Spanish formation class says they are interested in attending the Sun morning mass.

7.      Closing prayer- Karen (song)
