July Meeting Minutes
1.
Reminder
of upcoming events:
a.
Canoe
Trip: it was a huge success and we’ll definitely do this again
b.
Book
Study: Wednesdays at 6:30 P.M. at Books-a-Million
i.
Note:
after the meeting, Grant told me that he would be unable to do the book study
after the month of August, so I will write up a book study schedule that
reflects that. We’ll pick it back up when Grant is ready
c.
Tennis:
Sundays after Mass. I have fun. Maybe you will, too. Grant looked a little
timid about the schedule I posted, but I’ll keep y’all up to speed with whether
he can make it or not on a given weekend, provided he tell me ahead of time. I
just need to get my own equipment. It’s too fun to not do on Sunday, when the
weather permits. Just sayin’
2.
Holy
Hour Update
a.
9/10:
Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church
i.
Hang
Out time will be at the church as well
b.
We
will begin to go to perpetual adoration chapels to pray together
i.
I
will establish a schedule for this.
c.
It
took me longer than expected to get an email out to Father Conner regarding the
August holy hour, so no promises there.
3.
T-shirt
Update
a.
I’m
back at my office, so I will be able to send the T-Shirt information to Kitty
Clark to help us out with that
b.
Shirt
Sizes were collected
c.
Once
and invoice is granted, money for it will be collected
d.
This
will still be a slow process, since the beginning of the school year is one of
the really stressful parts of my job and requires many extra hours at the
office.
4.
Julia
Falgoust proposed
a pilgrimage to Washington D.C. for the March for Life.
a.
We
will do this. I have called Miss T and David Dawson for information on what I
need to have prepared for this trip.
b.
I
have also spoken with Paul Schultz (the leader of Juventutem Michigan) regarding
scheduling, so we’ll have this well-prepared for a little inter-Juvi mingling
(fun!)
5.
Reminder
of what is expected of active Juventutem Members:
a.
Definition
of an Active Member = someone who takes part physically and not only in spirit
in the activities of a Juventutem chapter.
b.
Spiritual
Committments:
i.
Every
Day: pray for the sanctification of youth, especially for other members of
Juventutem.
ii.
Every
Week: enter a church or oratory at least once to adore Our Lord present in the
tabernacle. This may be any day and it may be during Mass as well.
iii.
Every
Year:
1.
Hearing
Holy Mass in the extraordinary form at least once, but for us, we have decided
to go as often as possible
2.
Going
to Confession at least once
3.
Taking
part in some Juventutem activity
6.
Christina
Tina Lena Orsot proposed
that we adopt an apologetic-style catechesis program
a.
We
took a vote and it was a landslide preference that we meet for catechesis
around our holy hour schedule
b.
I
will post a poll on facebook asking the question of method. Options will
include:
i.
Having
a speaker come and speak with us: either myself or a priest (why do I have a
feeling this is going to be me lol?)
ii.
Beginner
Apologetics series
iii.
Using
Churchmilitant.tv as a resource
iv.
Lighthouse
Catholic CD’s
I will post a poll on facebook. I’d
like to post that poll on my blog, but since I haven’t figured that out yet…
blog viewers will have to message me, I guess for now.
7.
Lucas
mentioned that we will be busy as a Juventutem group with cleaning the church
by sweeping, mopping, and cutting the grass. I will leave that project to him
for communication between the parish and our youth group. Thank you, Lucas!
