PASTORAL COUNCIL POSITIONS AVAILABLE Two positions opening up on the Pastoral Council for 3 year terms beginning in January 2016. The Pastoral Council assists Fr. Chris in decisions impacting our parish. Members represent all parishioners and serve as their voice in council discussions. Members are registered parishioners, at least 18 years old, and practicing Catholics in good standing with the Church. If you are interested in discerning to become a member of the Pastoral Council, or to nominate someone else, please fill out a Nominee Form available in the Narthex or at the parish office. Completed forms may be deposited in the “Pastoral Council Nominations“ drop box in the Narthex, or turned in at the Parish Office. DEADLINE to submit nominations is Friday, December 18, 2015. If you have questions, please send a note and your phone number to [email protected] and a council member will call. All parishioners are welcome to attend Discernment Day on Saturday, January 16, 2016 from 9:00am to about 11:00am. PARK SAFELY When our parking lots are crowded, it can be tempting to park in places that are not marked as parking spots. This creates safety risks where an accident can occur or someone could get hurt (especially children). To help keep others safe, please always park in a marked spot. When all spots are taken, orderly parking on the grass around the back lots is an alternative. Please DO NOT park on either side of the driveway from the St. Vincent dePaul building to the exit at FM 1774. When cars park on both sides of this drive, it allows for only 1 lane of traffic. In addition, someone could to step out between parked cars into oncoming traffic. Cars parked near the FM1774 exit block the exit lanes and exiting drivers cannot see oncoming traffic clearly. Also, please do not enter off of FM1774 using the exit drive. Thanks for your understanding and help in keeping everyone safe in our lots.
