Liturgy & Spirituality Committee Meeting February 1, 2018 held at Holy Trinity conference room @ 7:12 P.M.

Present: Fr. Owen Korte, Lois Lammers, Rose Koch, Jim Steffen, Russ Flamig, Janet Creamer, and Janet Albers.

The Liturgy of the Hours was prayed for the opening prayer. The minutes were reviewed. A motion by Jim Steffen and a second by Rose Koch were made to approve the minutes. All were in favor.

Father reported that the storage basement had been cleaned and organized. The witness speakers for the weekend of February 3rd & 4th will be Stacy Kuehn, Don Noecker, and Dave Vlach. This is also the weekend of the Offertory Renewal and commitment cards. Father reported that Allen Lammers had made a new, beautiful Easter Candle stand. A new Easter Candle will be purchased. The Vocations Display was bounced off the Parish Council members and it met with their approval. Catholic School Week will be taken care of by Cedar and Holy Trinity students. Father talked about the Hopes & Joys for our Time Rally and the need for volunteers to help with the hospitality needs and sack lunches of attendees. The 40 Hours (now cut to 32 hours) will be March 11th & 12th due to conflicts with a KC function. Father Scott Hastings and Deacon Filips will be the speakers. There will be an anointing service on Sunday afternoon. The subject matter of one of the talks will be annulment. Holy Thursday (7:30 p.m.) and Holy Saturday (8:30 p.m.) liturgies will be handled by Rose and the choir. Father suggested that the guitar/piano group of Daisy Keiser and Christensen family members do the Good Friday service (7:30 p.m.). Father asked for assistance in gathering of the 12 parishioners for the Washing of the Feet ceremony. Janet Albers volunteered to do this. The Good Friday Walking of the Stations will start @ 12:00 noon this year. The Easter penance service will be on Palm Sunday @ 4:00 p.m. Two Easter Sunday masses will be at regular times. Father wants two groups to pray and keep vigil once a month during Family Formation sessions. A bereavement group will be activated soon to support families experiencing losses. Valerie Conzett of St. Gerald’s parish will inform our group how this can be done. She will visit Saturday, February 3rd and present her knowledge on this.

A film from the True Reformers series was viewed. The film gave insight into the life of St. Charles Borromeo, the archbishop of Milan in the 16th century. He came from wealth and through wealth, to a life of increased simplicity, mortification, and prayer life to bring him closer to Jesus. Through the , which took 17 years to complete, he reformed , established seminaries, and trained priests to manage parishes. The very contagious bubonic plague struck Milan in 1576, but St. Charles Borromeo continued his visits to the very sick people affected by the plague. He died at the age of 46 years. Discussion followed the film.

Meeting closed @ 8:55 p.m. Next meeting was set for March 8th.

Respectfully submitted, Janet Albers
