Mission: 

To provide school-age children with an opportunity to experience the Liturgy of the Word on their level of understanding.

Objectives:

• Continue to recruit new volunteers so that the ministry will remain strong.

• Locate additional support materials for use in conveying the scripture messages to the children.

Statement of Resource Needs (Time, Talent, Treasure):

Budget needs to include some money for the purchase of above mentioned support materials. Nursery should also have some funds to replace items.

Ministry with Community Special Emphasis:

For 2004-2005, St. John Fisher Chapel Community wants to pay special attention to the Parish Pastoral Assembly Speak-Up Group recommendations. This will include the summaries of each of the nine topics and the PPA survey results, which will be promulgated at Pentecost 2003.

Ongoing reminders will be provided to the lay presiders to spend time in personal prayer and reflection prior to planning and initiating the liturgy of the word for children as it relates to the PPA.
