Parishioners are requested to submit any updates, amendments or errors noted in these documents. This review is an annual exercise. It is hoped that by maintaining accurate and up-to-date documents that parishioners will take an interest and ownership in these two initiatives, which serve to enhance the management of the church and also benefit the members who devote their time and energy to make the church run smoothly. Please submit any recommendations to myself, Rick Orlando, or any other council member.
