REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PPC FROM TASK FORCE REVIEWING PPC COMMITEES AND REPRESENTATION: TONY KERNAN
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Establish a communications liaison.
2. Establish 3 year terms, no more than 2 consecutive terms. Subsequent terms would be acceptable after a 1 year hiatus from the PPC.
3. Stagger member terms to better manage attrition and turnover.
4. Per the by-laws, retiring member is not responsible for finding a replacement but can make suggestions for same.
QUESTIONS FROM THE PPC:
1. Of the committees currently enumerated in the by-laws, which ones are active?
2. Which ones are a committee of one person?
3. Would a census of current committees be useful?
4. Are the activities of these committees requiring oversight from the PPC?
5. What standard is a threshold for a direct report to the PPC?
6. Are the way things are working right now truly reflected in the by-laws, or are the common practices conforming to the by-laws?
7. How is the PPC ensuring that the pastoral plan developed through the round table meetings is being implemented?
8. How are MQHR staff and parish committees interacting?
9. Does every Committee Representative need to attend every PPC meeting, or should it be by request or need?
CONCLUSIONS: Task Force members have been tasked to review these questions and provide responses to the PPC. No timeframe was set in the meeting for a report on these questions, and the membership of the PPC in attendance at the February meeting was asked to review the minutes on this topic especially and suggest any revisions.

FINAL PRAYER: Lee McGrath: PRAYER TO DO GOD’S WILL, St. Ignatius of Loyola.
Dearest Lord, teach me to be generous; teach me to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labor and not to seek reward, save that of knowing that I do your will through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
