There are a variety of ways to participate...

Advisory Group
Everyone 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.

         Steering Committee

Liaisons
Bishops in Wisconsin dioceses and leaders of other key constituencies are invited to name liaisons who may participate in prayer and conversation sessions and be added to email communications.

Servant Team
We took the initiative to start the process. 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. Currently, Servant Team members include: 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.

Marketing Council
This group existed before a summer planning process and has the primary responsibility, assisted by the Servant team,  to negotiate an agreement with the Capuchins how to continue retreat and other ministry at St. Anthony's, including lease and/or purchase of property. Members have business and government expertise and include: Joe Breaman, Jerry Brickner, Ed Buchberger, Tee Daly, Geoffrey Huys, Dave Joswiak, Ocean Prihoda,  and LaVern Stencil.
