Eucharistic Revival
• Procession and mass were amazing
• Turn-out 1200 at Civic Center for Mass
• Fr. Steffes Processed out of town on County Road 9
• Continuation through reflection

Re-evaluate Saturday 8PM Mass time
• ~ 150 People average attendance
• Possibly looking at other time options
• It is a rare time slot across the nation for Saturday 8PM Mass
• Looking at improving attendance by moving to an earlier time
• Casually ask parishioners thoughts on Saturday evening mass times to get a feel

Rectory Renovation
• Upstairs is complete
• Main Floor dining, kitchen, living room, hallway etc. Is demolished
• Currently at a stand-still waiting on permits
• All appliances and furnishings are on-site ready to be installed

Gathering Space
• Updated Furnishings
• People love the space now, many compliments
• Many people are staying after mass to socialize and use the gathering space as it was intended
• Looking at starting up the Coffee Cart again in September/Fall time
• Summer months are harder to justify using coffee cart due to vacations, traveling, lighter turn-out

Received a Bid for Patio
• Patio outside Main door

Received Bid for Stained Glass Window
• Circular Stained Glass above Risen Christ
• Will ask for any amount of donation from parishioners
• Currently there is a structural question/concern about a crack in the brick that needs to be addressed before we hang the Stained Glass.
• Looking at adding windows to upper front of chapel to illuminate the stained glass.
• There are currently several spots that were intended for windows.
• Along with this there is also consideration to updating landscaping on the North Side of main church
