Hello Brothers,
I attended the 10:00 am Mass a few weeks ago, at which Fr.
Vincent gave the Homily.
Basically he said that it is our obligation, as good
stewards, to use whatever talent(s) that God has blessed us
with, in the service of others!
Stewardship, in general, will be the focus of the Parish in
August ...however, I would like to bring the premise of that
message up to June.
In the Fraternal Year, June is a time for a changing of the
guard (sort of speaking) ...new Officers will be elected and
Chair positions are being vacated.
I have long said that everyone has a skill or talent that
can be used (at whatever level and for whatever time they
can) in the service of our Council and the things we
support!
It's not to late to voice your interest in being an Officer,
however the focus of this email is more on open Committee
and Event Chairs.
I have started trying to fill various Committee/Event Chairs
and the first reply I get, is "I don't have the skill or
experience or time".
I understand not everyone has the skill or the disposition
to handle a big project ...however, you "ALL" can certainly
make it much easier by providing the skill you have &/or
time in a smaller capacity!
Two examples:
If you are good with numbers ...we can use your skill to
keep a project or event budget, track receipts, etc.
If you have good people skills ...we can use your skill to
recruit & coordinate volunteers.
We have a small but experienced core set of members, who are
happy and "waiting" to mentor new brothers ...that is one of
the great things about our Council.
For the successful future of our Council, we need to
continue to have brothers who develop skills & gain
experience ...but that is not going to happen by watching
from the side-lines!
Please speak up and volunteer to Chair a vacancy ...&/or
help in at least three events this coming year (after-all I
believe the desire to help is why most of you joined!)
Sometimes we must stretch our comfort zone (a little) to
grow and gain experience.
God Bless.
