Richard, Dana Hogan, Kathy O Brien, Sue Hinderlider, Deacon Jim Fage, Walt Haas, Marilyn Derbyshire, Marilyn St. Pierre, Jill St. Yves, Sara Carey, Corinne Hennen, Paulette Croteau, Susan Collins, Kyra Ross, Karen Lewicki, Peggy Long, Dave Wells, Steve Mitchell, Bill Voight, Anne Deveaux, Carol Bird. Dana welcomed everyone and opened with prayer. Introductions. Old Business Lake Barkley The Mid-South Catholic Leadership Conference is a regional conference at Lake Barkley in Cadiz Ky. It is a great place for a vacation. We are a sponsoring diocese so we get reduced registration. If you don t have a roommate put the word out to other DRE s and we ll find one. Archbishop Kurtz will be there. The forums will be there again where we divide into our ministry groups for topics particular to each of us. Monday afternoon is free and people seem to like having that time free to do whatever is available. Registrations should be sent to Karen Jarboe in Owensboro. If you want to declare tax exempt you have to have a tax exempt form from the state of Kentucky website. Sr. Mary Marta, the school superintendent, is sending out the brochure and encouraging all of her people to go. NCCL National Conference For Catechetical Leadership. This year we were in Cleveland Ohio. Sara, Brigid, Carol Bird and Karen Lewicki attended. Karen reported that it was a wonderful opportunity to hear people that you just read about other places. Lots of free stuff and lots of new ideas. Small enough to see familiar faces from year to year and large enough to attract national speakers. NCCL is just catechetical ministries. Everything revolves around what is done in the parishes and the diocese, RCIA, AFF, Youth Ministry, RE, etc. Next year s conference is in St. Louis, May. 19 th 23 rd. St. Louis is a great city for sight-seeing too. Membership is $60 a year. With that you get discounts on conferences, resources and the weekly newsletter and Catechetical Leader, the bi-monthly magazine. We are starting a new column in Catechetical Leader in January just for PCL s!! 1
2 Registration and membership forms are on the website: If you can budget for it, it s well worth the time and money. Fr. Richard the CETF can help with the expenses for the conference, especially for a first time attendee. The vast majority of the speakers were in parish ministry at one time. Jared Dees is going to be our speaker at the forum in St. Louis. If you go to the NCCL website and enter the Amazon website through there you can help NCCL with all of your Amazon purchases. NCCL you can register as a professional member if you have a graduate degree, have a National Lay Ecclesial Ministry Certificate, or have been certified in the diocese by a program based on the national standards. Fr. Richard will look at the national standards and see if they apply. Fr. Richard handed out a screen shot of the diocesan website for DRE s It is password protected but the password is frazzled. Everything for a DRE is up there. Frazzled in the Vineyard is the title of our annual DRE retreat. It begins on a Friday evening and goes through Saturday afternoon. No word on a retreat leader yet but we do know that it will be held at Comfort Inn in Farragut on Friday evening and SJN School on Saturday, either Feb. 14 or Feb. 21. CETF Catholic Education Trust Fund applications are now available on the Diocesan/DRE website. Fr. Richard is now requiring that the applications be typed. However, the forms are ready to fill out on your computer. (They will still need a pastor s signature.) This is necessary because hand-written applications are difficult to photocopy for the trustees. Applications are due October 1. Proposals can still be typed on a separate sheet and sent in. The reimbursement form can be typed up as well. There have been some changes. Carol Bird and Sara Carey are now voting members on the board. Fr. Richard is the diocesan staff office representative. At the October meeting they will ask for a little bit more money to meet parish needs. The fund is about 5 million dollars. $300,000 goes for Catholic school supplemental tuition assistance and parish catechetical needs. The parishes get $75,000 dollars. Effective July 1 the bishop approved a 5% education contribution into the trust fund for parishes that do not provide 5% of their offertory income in tuition support for Catholic school families. This will benefit those parishes through the trust fund. That 5% will add $210,000 a year to the trust fund. The hope is that the end result for parishes will be an increase from $75,000 to $100,000 available to parishes every year. There has really never been enough before now. The trustees are going to be looking at the real needs. Fr. Richard encourages everyone to submit applications this fall so that he can show the trustees that we 2
3 CFP need the greater amount. It was initially designed for the smaller, more remote parishes but the larger urban parishes have benefited also. Submit early so Fr. Richard can help make it more doable. Any questions don t hesitate to call Fr. Richard. Smaller parishes are looking at having to make serious cuts in spending and/or personnel to meet the assessments. Some parishes request funds but don t use them. After a certain amount of time the funds expire and go back into the general fund. The bishop is the one who approves all of these requests finally and Fr. Richard needs to be able to explain requests to him and any differences in how the money is distributed. Deacon Jim Fage the Bishop has told the parishes that every parish should have a paid youth minister. Every parish should have a viable youth ministry program. The Center for Ministry Development still has a training program for youth ministry but it is an online program only. The diocesan Catechetical Formation Program begins again this month. Fr. Richard has noticed that Catechists who have been certified before 2008 are not keeping up their certification. They were grandfathered in but they did have to attend the orientation, submit the form and keep up with their 18 hours. If you have someone who was certified before that, ask them for their 18 hours and encourage them to get the Catechist Orientation. Everyone must attend one Ministry Day for 6 hours. If they have the 2008 certification they can use the Aquinas hours for their 18 hours to renew. They still plan to offer the courses from the year as online courses over the summer. You can do 3 ministry days as your 18 hours. It s up to the catechist to remember to renew, not the diocese. Spanish speakers are certified in the diocese through the SEPI program but the sisters are working on getting the Aquinas program in Spanish. Child protection We are going to have a full, onsite audit this year, after the Eucharistic Congress. The forms (English and Spanish) are on the website (see above) including the parental non-response form. The opt-out form can be included with your registration form. All the lessons are still on the website (English and Spanish). Direct parents who miss the training to the website. Diocesan policy and forms are available on the website in English and Spanish. The fair credit report form is much clearer now. There is a page that pops up when you submit a request that has to be kept in their file also. Question if we don t have the submission form do we have to go back and get those? Fr. Richard will check. The audit this fall will be for The training for this year needs to be done from September through November. Make-up sessions can be in January or February. 3
4 For those who register late give them the opt-out form at the time of registration. Lunch New Business Sr. Timothea Dates to remember: The Rite of Election in March 8 and 9 in the four deaneries; The Missioning Mass is June 7, 2014 at the regular 5:00 mass in the Cathedral. Questionnaire who is responsible for Adult Faith Formation in your parish? Who really is in charge so Sister can communicate more effectively with the parishes. Living the Eucharist is not optional, by the way. If the parish sent in an evaluation the next year kit is free. The kits for this year should be here so let Sister know if it isn t. How many leaders (facilitator s) manual do you need? What so you need for Spanish? Let sister know. Paulist Evangelization Ministries and Catholic Extension Service are in partnership with the diocese to reduce the cost. Sister is wiling and happy to help anyone with facilitator training. Adult Faith Formation in the parishes Some parishes have wonderful programs but we are dealing with a second generation of adults with very little catechesis. We really need to educate our people especially on the Eucharist. Sister has programs that she can lend out on Adult Faith Formation and some programs that are free. There s a lot of really great material out there. If the DRE is not the person responsible pass this information on to the person who is responsible. The trust fund has supported a lot of adult materials. There should be something going on in each of the significant liturgical seasons. We re hoping that through the Eucharistic Congress we can get more people engaged in looking for adult formation. The congress opens the jubilee year and the bishop would like to have something going on in all of the deaneries. She suggested rewards for those who have built the church, started some of the programs, people who have contributed significantly. Any ideas? Send to sister. October 5 Lourdes is going to have a training program for Spanish speaking RCIA leaders at the chancery, all day. She s also at the end of the Spanish program that she s been running for scripture study facilitators. If you want to start a bible study in Spanish, the leaders are ready now! She also has a list of resources. Dr. Ruth Queen Smith is really the expert in the field of Adult Education and is willing to help people form facilitators for adult learning groups. The diocese is also developing a speakers bureau and several parishes have developed men s groups after the men s conference last year. 4
5 Catholic VBS programs Kyra (St. Jude, Chattanooga) we had Totus Tuus this summer for the first time. Overall it was fairly successful. She also ran a concurrent program for pre-school and kindergarten. o It was also Scott Russell s first time with TT so the planning needed some work. Jill (St. Thomas, Lenoir City) was the 3 rd parish on Scott s TT list it was pretty well received. o The team needs to be selected more carefully for their suitability but numbers were high by time for the water fight on Friday. o Really cost effective when you add in supplies and snacks, etc. o Jill took advantage of the free lunch program for Loudon County. She contacted the East Tennessee Human Resources Agency (ETHRA). Sue (St. Mary, Johnson City) had a TT group from the Charlotte diocese. The college kids were on fire and ran with the program. The simplicity of the program was really appealing. Dave (Sacred Heart, Knoxville) was the last and the largest TT group. o He noticed that they didn t connect with the children. His 7 th grader really enjoyed the evening sessions. They would do it again. Paulette (St. Mary, Athens) borrowed Power Lab from St. Joseph the Worker and had a real scientist who teaches at Wesleyan come to help and it was great. Kathy O Brien (St. Michael the Archangel Mission) had hoped to have a group from Maryland come but they had to cancel. So they came up with a plan to evangelize: Go Tell It On The Mountain. The Spanish children are rarely there at Christmas time so they developed a play of the Christmas story and presented it on Friday. They used the mysteries of the rosary as a focus for each day. They did feed them a whole meal every night. They had about 50 kids involved and 117 people in the parish involved in some way. There s a slide show on the parish website: St. Michael the archangel in Unicoi: Karen Lewicki (St. Dominic, Kingsport) had 30 people and teens helping with Mass and a potluck on the last night for about 70 people. The kids were really hooked on the music and her kit had the permission to copy the CD s which the kids loved. They used a kit from Ligouri. She put out a tree with cards for supplies and mostly the grandparents picked those up and contributed supplies. Marilyn St. Pierre (St. Stephen, Chattanooga) used Growing the Saints: Assorted Saints and Virtues and really enjoyed it. It is a totally Catholic program. A parishioner furnished a free brown bag supper for the families every night. Corinne (OLPH, Chattanooga) tried but the school programs ran all summer and the kids were busy. So were their parents so she really didn t have any volunteers. 5
6 Carol Bird (St. Augustine, Signal Mountain) used a program from OSV. She really had a lot of volunteers and she would miss all that community with TT. Sister experienced a TT in Denver with a strong leader who gave strong spiritual training to the team before the program began. Sue talked to team members who had applied through Steubenville to work in other dioceses than their own. Sister Timothea one advantage is that TT has contributed significantly to vocations. Time to choose another book since we re finished with Practice Makes Catholic.

Johanna Paruch; published by Catechetical Institute Franciscan University &store=421&design=421 Fr. Richard: What are you calling your programs? Does anyone know what CCD really means? o Sara Creating Christ s Disciples. The name needs to match with what we re really trying to do. The bishops have stated that the RCIA is really the model for all catechesis. They want it to become a way of life. Even the diocesan office went from Religious Education to Faith Formation. We can t truly form the kids without the help of the parents. CCD connotes that they drop the kids off and we ll do the work so we need to get formation out there so that the parents understand this is their primary responsibility and we re here to help. What are we doing to get parents involved? o Fr. Richard have parenting sessions during the RE time. o Jill CREED once a month RE is in the evening for adults and children. o Peggy posts the topics on the website that the teachers have covered the night before. o Pflaum has a leaflet that goes home each week. Peggy also has a reward system for those who do their home assignment. o Sacred Heart the option of dropping the children off is off the table. The parents have to participate in Adult Faith Formation in order to register their children in the Wednesday night program. The intent is to have the entire community come on Wednesday nights for faith formation. Catechetical Sunday and the Eucharistic Congress are on the same weekend so if you have the commissioning scheduled you need to move it to an alternate Sunday. Most programs are starting the week after the Congress this year. Next meeting will be October 10 at St. Jude in Chattanooga. Kyra Ross with agenda items: kyraross@yahoo.com. Thanks to all who contributed door prizes! Respectfully submitted: Brigid Johnson 7
