develop this opportunity.
The use of online capabilities within our parish website for parishioners to update their

annual cost, David Kniepkamp recommended and will ask the Men’s Club if they will
contribute the money and be noted as the sponsor on the Parish Website for this activity.

pursued with the Men’s Club and appropriate entities for implementation. The motion
passed.
New Business
Diana Vogt presented for the Jobs Club the request for the Parish to join the Fairview
Heights Chamber of Commerce to help with networking job opportunities with
parishioners. The Finance Council reviewed the request and the consensus was there
was not enough clarity on the benefits of joining with regards to or Parish Ministries and
Mission and would need more information from the Job’s Club on the opportunity.
The meeting was closed with a prayer
