PARISH LIFE   Report by Mary Beth.
Fourth meeting of the Planning Committee, St. Kateri Church, Exeter RI. November 17, 2020 at 7pm. Attendees in person:  Msgr. Sabourin, Mary Beth, Rudy, Lee, Damon & Susan.  Attendees by phone:  Tim , Rose. The meeting began with a prayer.
Old Business:  Mary Beth summarized minutes from the 3^rd mtg held 10/27/20.
Mary Beth met with the bookkeeper (Rose) and billing assistant (Judi) in the new “parish office” located in the Parish Center.  The room will be locked, and has a locking file cabinet and supplies for both billing purposes and the counting teams.  They reviewed invoice files and are separating them by fiscal year as well as those for historical retention. Procedures were reviewed and the first invoices will be paid within the next few days.  This will remove billing, filing and check balancing from Sister’s responsibilities. 
Lee met with Msgr. along with Damon & Susan, who have taken on the role of Property Management.  They discussed the handling of plumbing, lawn, garden, snowplowing and janitorial needs.  Their goal is to transition property management duties away from Msgr. by January 1^st. They plan to meet again after the 10am Mass on Sunday, Nov 22.
