EDUCATION COMMISSION
The St. Alphonsus Education
Commission is concerned with the total educational needs of the
parishioners with a focus on Christian education for Young-Adult (20-40
years of age) and older members. The Commission strives to present various
opportunities for adults to reflect upon, discern and realize their
commitment to follow Christ every day and in every moment of their lives.
Anyone desiring to know more about the Church and how to live and help
others to live their daily lives in communion with Jesus is perfect for
this group.
You are invited to attend
the meetings, share your interests, line up special speakers, prepare
notices, attend special events, and serve as a host or hostess to other
parish members.
Check the monthly Church
calendar for time and place of Education Commission meetings.

PATRICK SCHOOL ADVISORY COUNCIL
The School Advisory Council
provides parishioners with an appropriate representative body for
identifying and articulating the educational needs and aspirations of St.
Alphonsus/St. Patrick's School. The council acts in an advisory capacity
to the pastors and principal in formulating and evaluating policies for
the Parish school. The council also monitors and provides assistance to
the pastors and principal in implementing these policies.
The Advisory Council
consists of a group of parishioners elected to serve three-year terms from
both St. Alphonsus and St. Patrick's Parish. Parishioners of either parish
and parents of children attending the school are eligible for election.
All parishioners are invited to attend the meetings. Please contact the
school office for more information.

students. All school families are encouraged to attend. For more
