Archdiocesan Pastoral
Council Meeting Notables
Archdiocese of
Grouard-McLennan
February 28, 2015
• New APC members from the Cursillo Board and Catholic Family Services
brought informa�on about who they are and what they do in the
Archdiocese.
• We reviewed the “Terms of Reference” for the APC and the
Organiza�on Chart of the Archdiocese. We discussed what the principal
func�ons are of the APC and learned about term lengths and the
requirements for selec�ng representa�ves from the Archdiocesan
councils, commi)ees and various organiza�ons.
• The planning commi)ee for the Archdiocesan Congress: Church Alive!
has nearly completed work on the informa�on to be reviewed by the
Congress delegates. It will be on the website (h)p://archgm.ca) by the
middle of March.
• Archbishop Pe2pas is commi)ed to con�nue working towards healing
and reconcilia�on with our brothers and sisters in First Na�ons and
Mé�s Se)lements, although the formal TRC will complete its work in
June 2015. There will be a closing event in O)awa from May 31 to June
3.
• Deacon Michael Uso-Ereyi will be ordained to the priesthood on June
24, 2015 at St. John the Bap�st Cathedral, McLennan.
Whatwelearned….
• We encouraged the Archbishop and planning commi)ee for the
Archdiocesan Congress to issue specific, directed invita�ons to youth
delegates for the Congress. Archbishop Pe2pas will have the division
administra�on iden�fy four students in HFCRD and GPCSD to be invited.
• We encouraged more collabora�on between schools and parishes,
asking schools to consider how they might share the inspiring and
interes�ng speakers they bring in for their own events with parishes in
those communi�es.
