Test of website uploaded to internet
From the webmaster:
I have uploaded a test version of the new website to the internet, for select persons to be able to review it. It is still in a very incomplete form, since much content still needs to be written. However, the design is pretty much complete, with the notable exception of a Parish Logo. If anyone knows of an artist/graphic designer who would be willing to donate their talents by creating a Logo for us to use, please contact me.

Please note that the search box in the lower left-hand corner of each page is not yet functional, until I tweak the code with the correct URL.

Photos added
The latest addition to the website were some photographs of staff members, as well as adding a couple names of Pastoral Council members.
Education Committee Meeting
The next Education Committee meeting will be on Tuesday, 21 February, 2006, at 5:30 in the Sullivan House.
