We have close to 90 children enrolled now.<br />Class masses begin at 9 a.m. on October 28 with the third grade leading the mass, ascending through the grades and ending before Christmas. Grades 9 and 10 will have their own evening mass on Dec. 16, followed by a holiday celebration.<br />Marie was very pleased with the pancake breakfast turnout on October 14. The students’ cooking was “phenomenal.”<br />On Nov. 17 there will be a pizza party and ice cream social organized and staffed by the religious education students and open to the entire parish.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Liturgy</span> <em>Anne Diffily (anne_diffily@brown.edu)</em><br />Stewardship Weekend was held Oct. 13-14 at all three Masses. A number of new volunteers signed up for various ministries. Anne Diffily noted that no one stopped to chat or read the backboards after the 5:00 mass, and only two people came downstairs after the 11:00 Mass. Next year we will insert copies of the all-ministry information and signup sheet into the parish bulletin in order to expand our outreach.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">New Business</span><br />Anne will look into the possibility of a St. Sebastian’s parish “blog” as a way to present up to date information and link to a PDF version of the parish weekly bulletin online.<br />Bea Parker noted that the monthly Book Club is back up and running with a full table of attendees at the first discussion meeting. Retired professor Donald Rohr leads the sessions.<br />Fr. Hayman reported that the first maintenance collection yielded about $2,000, which was used to trim all the trees on the property.<br /><br />The next meeting of the Pastoral Council will take place on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tuesday, Nov. 27</span>, 2007, at <span style="font-weight: bold;">7 p.m.</span> in the Father Randall Room.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
