Parish Pastoral Council (PPC): 

          Parish Pastoral Council: The results of the elections held for four members to serve six years are: Andrew Don, Margie Ohrenberger, Martha Tansey and Richard Travers. We welcome them to the role of advisors and guiders of our parish faith community. They are charged with being spreaders of the “Good News of Jesus Christ” in our Parish. Their role is to help develop the vision and goals of our parish life. I wish to thank the members of the Parish Council who prepared, worked on and finalized the election. The excellent posters and biographies that were on display in the front Church lobby were gratefully appreciated by many people. On behalf of the Parish, I wish to thank Richard Blake, Michael Devine, Bob Hoffman and Karen McSweeney for their dedication and service to our Parish these last years. I also wish to express the appreciation to the other participants in the Parish Council election. We hope that you will join with the Council as committee members.

          The following four parishioners have been elected to serve a six-year term on the PPC commencing in October 2008: Andrew Don, Margie Ohrenberger, Martha Tansey and Rich Travers. At this time, the PPC is also pleased to announce that all of the other nominees have expressed an interest in serving our faith community over the next two years by serving on one or more of the PPC Committees. Additional volunteers are also most welcome at this time! Finally, the PPC would like to take this opportunity to thank the more than five hundred parishioners who took the time to vote in the recent election. Your interest and efforts to continue to strive to build God’s kingdom in Scituate are sincerely appreciated. Posted 062208
