Second training was held May 18.
Ministry of Extraordinary Ministers (EM) of Holy Communion – Mary Scarlett out of town
Second training was held May 11.
Steve reported that approval by the Bishop is not back on a number of people. It might be August before another commissioning service can be held.
Discussion held on EM commissioning and having enough for every Mass during summer season.
List of commissioned EM ministers is in the sign-in binder.
Questions Steve will ask Father:
—Can EM ministers whose previous commission has not expired and have been to training, just waiting for new commissioning continue to serve until re-commissioned?
—Several people went to first training and were on the approved list to be recommissioned but were unable to attend Mass the weekend those were done. (Sick or having surgery are examples). Could those people be commissioned now to increase number available?
If not enough EM ministers at a Mass, communion will just take longer using who is present.

Tony asked to please ensure that all people on the MSP schedule are approved/commissioned and ready to serve at Mass.

Parish Digital Communications – Karri Brauman/Marilee Poulter
Steve asked if live streaming should continue in light of dispensation from Mass being lifted by the Bishop. Karri reports numbers of people watching the live stream at the time of Mass monthly to the office. Average of 10-25. Discussion held. Group feels the value of seeing their parish community for those who are unable to attend is worth the resources for streaming.
