4. Father Gamm Introduction as
Parochial administrator Father reviewed his previous
assignments as Parochial administrator in the past. He has been a
Parochial administrator three previous times since 1984 in three
different parishes. He is here to maintain parish life as it is at
the present. His role as administrator is defined from Code of Canon
Law, page 207. Can. 539 When a parish becomes vacant or when the
pastor is prevented from exercising his pastoral office in the
parish due to captivity, exile, banishment, incapacity, ill health
or some other cause, the diocesan bishop is to appoint as soon as
possible a parochial administrator, that is, a priest who
substitutes for the pastor in accord with the norm of can. 540.
Can. 540 1. A parochial administrator is bound by the same duties
and enjoys the same rights as a pastor unless the diocesan bishop
determines otherwise.
2. A parochial administrator is not permitted to do anything which
can prejudice the rights of the pastor or harm parish goods.
3. After he has fulfilled his function the parochial administrator
is to render an account to the pastor.
5. Pastoral Plan review Discussed the need for Pillar
updates to the council on what is happening in each of the
ministries. Jerry Grefer will ask Ted Lewis to speak for Outreach
ministry at next council meeting in February.
6. Diocesan Loan Finance
Council, Father Gamm and Gerry Glen to discuss the Diocesan Loan for
the land in the near future. Tony Depenbrock will also be included
about payment plan as well. Commitments for DAA is due at the end of
April. Will have follow-up discussion about the loan as a definite
plan is made to repay to Diocese.
