BBAMP Report:
Patrick read the report from Carolyn Zierer. At this time the interest survey on regionalization of schools will not be distributed until after Father Wayne (St. Barnabas) returns from sabbatical in December. It is expected that the survey will go out sometime in January—when all parishes can do the same thing at the same time.
The Parish Council members expressed their concerns about people leaving St. Pius and reiterated their belief in the need for us to be proactive regarding regionalization and collaborative efforts with the BBAMP parishes.

St. Pius 50th
Anniversary:
Patsy Meyer announced that due to health concerns Marsh Kareken will be unable to be co-chair of this committee. Patsy asked members to volunteer or to help her find someone who will be able to fulfill this role. Because there is no money for this event, Patsy suggested that we sell videos and merchandise to help defray the costs associated the event. She showed the video of the History of the Jefferson County Police Department to illustrate what the video of St. Pius might look like. She suggested that the History of St. Pius follow chronologically and not be segmented by group. She will begin to solicit memorabilia and pictures from parishioners. She also suggested that because there is no money, that we consider having several small events and a culminating event such as a potluck parish celebration. A Liturgy held before Lent would open the period of festivities. It was decided that all celebrations should be family-centered. Kathy Delozier is going to look into the possibility of the school children completing an oral history, interviewing founding parishioners as well as others. Kelly Collard is going to look into the idea of creating a quilt celebrating the anniversary.
There will be a meeting of the committee on November 21.
Patrick reported that all went very well --. 79% of all school families attended. Patti Vance reported that almost all of their intention cards have already been received. Support for a regional school was voiced at all the meetings.
