2016 Council Budget Vote 10/27
With the new fiscal year starting in January, a proposed budget for 2016 was submitted to the Council at the Sep 22nd Council Business Meeting.  This budget will be voted on at the 10/27 Council Business Meeting. Please bring previous copies of the budget, if you have one - no revisions have been received/suggested. 
Council Monstrance Vote - UPDATE
The Council vote on incurring up to a $2,000 expenditure for a new Monstrance for Sacred Heart Church FAILED at the 9/22 Council Business Meeting.  A new motion based on the revised church plans will have to be made at a Council Business meeting and posted for 30 days before a vote can be taken on that motion.  As was stated on the front page of the last Sacred Heart Bulletin, the parish is requesting assistance from the Parish membership for the new Monstrance.  Current plan is to come to the ministries (KofC, ACTS, SSMM) of the parish if individual contributions do not cover the total cost.  Based on this plan, the Council vote is put on hold and may not be required at all.
