You were asked:
Do you throw great parties or events? Are you a great planner and communicator? Are you creative and a “people person’? Do you enjoy working as a team player?
As the parish has grown it has seen change not only in demographics but also realized a need for a team involving parishioners more in how functions/events are presented.
Our pastor at the time, Father Jim, approved adding this new ministry to be called SMG Reception Committee.
When there is a major event this group will manage the event from beginning to end. Two parishioners, Jessica Geisel and Barbara Peznowski, have been asked to lead the group and involve volunteers from the parish to be members of the team.
Some of the committee responsibilities will include submiting required paperwork to the parish for facilities, plan the event, plan a budget and get approval for same, use appropriate members of the team as event / team leads or team participants, present the event, document the event from beginning to end and have after action meetings.
The committee will not be doing things like the smaller Faith Formation get togethers, Hope Ministry remains separate, CRHP remains separate, no involvement in Kountry Karnival functions, etc.
The events currently identified that will fall under the committee are:
SMG Campus Deanery functions - as requested by pastor
New SMG School Year Staff/Teacher Luncheon
Staff Christmas Party
Easter Vigil Reception for those newly Baptized / Confirmed
Whatever else the Pastor requests
