In order to foster greater stewardship of time, talent and treasure among the Cluster parishes, a Stewardship Committee has been formed with representatives from each parish in the Cluster (Goal # 3). These members expressed an interest in working on Stewardship at the gathering of Parish Pastoral Councils which was held in February. The members of this Committee are:
| St. Aloysius | St. Gabriel |
| Pat Sheridan | Mary Jean Youngblood |
| Margaret Conway | |
| St. Charles Borromeo | King of Peace |
| Father Majoros | Valaria Bivins |
| Bill Mayes | Claudine Coleman |
| Sr. Denise Ware | |
| St. Edmond | St. Thomas Aquinas |
| Father Groarke | Charles Marinelli |
| Patricia Fascina | Sam Masapollo |
| Brian Mooney |
It is their hope to discover, celebrate, share and give thanks for the gifts which unite the Body of Christ and to invite others to journey with them in Stewardship through deepening conversion.
The Implementation Team is now beginning work on "making better use of the laity within the Cluster and to develop good lay leadership within all the ministries within the Church" (Goal # 4).
At this time, on behalf of all parishioners, we thank Father John Bradley, Father Ralph Chieffo and Father Francis X. Cortese for their untiring efforts and valuable insights as members of the Cluster Pastoral Planning Committee and, until recently, members of the Cluster 23 Implementation Team. We also welcome Father Michael Lee and Father Thomas Rossi -- new pastors in the Cluster, and now members of the Cluster Implementation Team.
