There are a variety of ways to participate...
Advisory GroupEveryone who participates in one or more "Prayer & Conversation" sessions this summer, or responds on this online venue, are considered advisers to a prayerful and "hard-nosed" planning process. Our focus is to research possible ways to continue retreat ministry and other spirituality programming at St. Anthony's. Our goal is to negotiate an agreement with Capuchin Province leadership by August 28, and when a proposal is accepted to implement planning objectives in the Fall.

We see our role as serving the needs of all who participate. Our
job is to plan and facilitate the process and to broaden consultation
with this online venue. We will meet as needed and communicate among
ourselves by email in addition to our participation in this Google
Group.

Charlotte Boehmer, Barb Ceranski, Leo Jacoby, Marge Lindell and St.
Anthony staff: Joan Wilichowski, Ocean Prihoda, and Joyce Braunel.
Fr.
Dan Crosby and Fr. Tom Zelinski are consultants to and prayer
supporters of all who engage in the prayer and conversation process this
summer.
