September 12 dscussion
- Raymond has been talking to Dolores about sound system and other items. It was determined that the existing sound system can’t be moved outside.
- The number of people who can fit into a tent is approximately equivalent to the number that would fit in the church. Tent would cost $6000; not economically feasible. Even if a donor approached Fr. Collins, he would prefer that the money be spent on more pressing needs.
- Collins suggested just having the mass outdoors and having people bring their own chairs and not rent tables or chairs.
- Microphones for priests and lectors only. Sound system borrowed from the school.
- Protection from sun/heat an issue. Make sure people are aware of the mass being outside so that they can be prepared for sun, heat protection, etc. Hats, umbrellas will be allowed.
- Location will be in front of the school.
- Communion stations will be marked with flags.
- Potluck will follow with meats supplied by the parish, parishioners assigned side dishes according to their last name.
Ministry Fair discussion

- John & Danute will work on an email to send to ministry heads; Raymond will ask Lillian to put announcements in bulletin, Sentinel to reserve spaces.
- Ministries will be organized according to PPC Liaison groups.

July/August/September/October rosary receptions discussion
