The St. Gertrude Feasibility Study Committee met with Fr. Ray and two facilitators assigned from the Archdiocese on Thursday, March 31st in the Fr. Mac Community Center. After introductions, the facilitators introduced the committee to the process that will be followed in the coming months. The process is an 8 step process that will lead us to the Archbishop making the final decision on the fate of St. Gertrude. The committee was honest and frank on the frustrations, limitations, and lack of support from the Archdiocese we have received as it relates to insurance, FEMA, support, answers to our questions. Now, we have to proceed through this process to show our viability and sustainability as a parish. So, we begin, and will keep you up to date as we go. Next meeting is a look at data including Baptisms, 1st communions, Confirmations, Marriages, Deaths, census info, survey which will be given to the committee members.
