  • 72 Disciples: Carmen reports that is going well and approximately $400 has been raised. Sal requests clarification for the $$ collected for this: 4000 for 1/2 scholarships (2000 for men’s retreat, and 2000 for women’s retreat), 1500 for core expenses, 1500 for retreat budget for each team. Joseph reports that scholarships can be for team or retreatants, and applicants will need to be approved by core and the priests.

New Business

  • Discussion of Nominees for Core and Men’s Director: Joseph suggests that core members and core nominees may find it difficult to be on a retreat team while serving on core. Rosie asked for clarification of the process for confirming or denying candidates. Joseph states that personal concerns can be brought to the priests, and general concerns discussed in the meeting can be voted on. It was mentioned that the nominees should be discussed at the core meeting and potentially with the priests prior to calling them to accept the nomination for core team. It was discussed that it may be necessary to accept nominees who may have only been on 1 retreat team due to a lack of nominees- the pastors will be consulted regarding this. Azucena moves that the core 1st have a discussion regarding the nominees qualifications at a core meeting then submit the names to the priest and then once accepted by the priests be called to receive the nomination, no vote was taken. Rosie discussed the importance of prayer while looking at the qualities that the humans are able to provide. The candidates were discussed and concerns were raised, the concerns will be discussed with the pastors. Tina suggests having patients, love, understanding, and tolerance for the candidates. Heidi encourages trusting the Holy Spirit for the selection process.

  • Other ACTS Fundraisers: Fundraisers will be discussed at the Nov 18 meeting. Azucena has some items to sell and would like to know what to use the money for. Rosie asked to clarify future fundraisers and the use of proposals for having them. Joseph states that donations can be made at any time, but if an ACTS event raises money as a fundraiser it must be set up through the proposal process. He suggests that only the funds that are needed should be asked for. Moneys collected at the end of each retreat from retreatants will be given to San Antonio ACTS missions and should be requested as such at the end of the retreat.
