Thoughts from St Al's

On Tuesday I started the day with a discussion on grant foundations and the appropriate use of monies for parish operations. Then we met and talked about leasing agreements for various sites to house our street and support ministries. I then attend a Memorial Service for a 62 year old man who was murdered on his birthday. Most of the people in attendance were from the inner group of St Al's. The finished up in Berkley talking to new volunteers who are trying to make the Canticle Cafe Productions process a more business oriented operation rather than the mom and pop style we currently run under. Who knew the life of a deacon would take on such a variety of issues and topics in one day!
