Meeting Minutes (As Yet Unapproved)
St. Isidore Parish Pastoral Council
January 11, 2001
Members Attending: Rev. Richard Butler, Pastor, Deacon Charles
Cornell, Marshall Cross, Paul Curley, Donne Cutting, Mike Holt, Judy Killeen,
Shirley Ormsby, Margaret Passafiume, John Slattery,
Members Absent: Nancy Dome, Jackie Downing, Patricia Noone, Mike
Statkus.
Note: Julie Orsatti has indicated that her schedule will prevent
her continuing as a member. Her resignation was accepted with thanks
for what she has done.
Minutes: Minutes of December 14th accepted
PPC Elections
Scheduled for May 20th; pictures and statements to be up May
6 and 13.
Nominating committee to prepare a slate by April 15th. Important
that the slate include enough names that the election be a real contest.
Question of how many to be elected. Usually four, but last year none;
thus in 2002 when the eight who came on (by election or appointment) leave
there will be a shortage. Thus this year five to be elected.
Nominating committee consists of outgoing members: Marty and Julie have
resigned; thus the committee would be only Mike and Judy. They will work
out logistics with Fr. Butler.
Advent – Christmas – Epiphany
It was agreed that the liturgical celebrations were good. Special thanks
to the Vierkant’s for the work on the crèche. Suggested that
Advent get greater emphasis next year; perhaps as follow through of the
anniversary celebration.
Newsletter
Positive feedback. Encouragement to develop a logo that includes the
drawing of Isidore (this is being worked out.) Deadline for submitting
items for next issue: February 7.
Priority and goal for 2000-2001
John Slattery offered thoughts he has picked up on the Internet on the
role model that Isidore provides. Discussion played around the concept
of oxen yoked, what it is to be yoked to Christ. The goal of looking
forward for a new generation with a new suburban culture would evolve
after the May 27th moment in staggered activity from the spring
of 2000 to the spring of 2001.
Update from the pastor
Written and oral: Dedication by the Cardinal May 27, Newsletter, Pictorial
directory, Boy Scouts, Baby Shower, Finance Council, Archdiocesan convocation
Mar 10.
Review of the meeting
“interesting”, appreciated John’s thoughts on Isidore
as role model, good meeting, good session.

whether to reschedule or cancel.
