Ministries, Standing Committee Meetings

Committees have been reorganized in respect to the changes in the Constitution and By-Laws voted by the membership. There are now four Standing Committees - Communications, Community Life, Education, and Liturgy. All committees are currently working on revisions to their statements of objectives and activities. As committees complete their work, their statements will be updated on the committee objectives page.
