Pastoral Planning: The three pastoral units of Isle Madame, East Richmond and West Richmond met on
Sunday, September 18th, 2005 in Louisdale. The presentations from the parishes were given. Afterwards, a
general discussion took place on the following topics: Parish Pastoral Councils have other needs besides
dealing with finances; parishes are surviving financially, but there is a problem when we are spending more
money on buildings and property than on spiritual development; diocesan guidelines; leadership roles; when we
lose buildings, it hurts the community. We need projects to bring people together and work towards a goal;
religious education and youth ministry - the diocese is combining the Office of Faith Formation with the Office
of Youth Ministry. There was a lot of concern that this would not work. It was the consensus of the group that
if the offices are fused together, it will be important to have an individual for each department; Masses - too
many Masses. Masses are boring! Miss congregational singing; maybe we should be educating people more
about the liturgy they are participating in and about their baptism. Before the meeting ended, it was suggested
that L' Ardoise, St.Peters, Johnstown and River Bourgeois would meet to discuss Mass schedules, etc. It was
also suggested that Isle Madame meet with Louisdale.

Acadian Festival: Much work goes into the preparation and serving of meals during the Acadian Festival.
Please consider helping in any way you can. We especially need people to help in the kitchen, and to serve
meals, as well as cooking and carving turkey. Festival dates are July 27-30.

Visiting: Fr. Barrett does not have the time to visit everyone in the parish. If you would like a visit from him,
please feel free to give him a call and make arrangements. The topic of a parish census will be brought to parish
pastoral council in the Fall. The carrying out of a parish census involves the establishment of a sub-committee.
This committee works on designing a census form; organizing the parish into sections; finding volunteers to
carry out the census; distributing and collecting the census forms from the volunteers, and finding someone to
put the census information on the parish computer and make a back-up copy. A parish census, as with so many
other things in the parish, is not a one person effort.

Volunteer Gardeners: We need volunteer gardeners to weed the flower patch around the front walkway of the
glebe. People who can identify what flowers are already there and make recommendations and plant more
flowers, if need be. Also, looking for people willing to donate and plant trees, shrubs and/or hedges around the
glebe.

Wanted! Housekeeper!: Fr. Barrett is looking for a housekeeper to do heavy and light house cleaning. Heavy
house cleaning involves the washing of walls and the shampooing of carpets (once a year). Light housekeeping
