Fraternity Annual Reports are due IMPORTANT ADDITION!!!
For this year, until we revise the report itself, what I need to present to
the Regional Executive Council is a better estimation on the health of your
fraternities.
To accomplish this I want each local minister send in along with your annual
report form the following:
From the Minister:
A 1 page narrative evaluation of the health of the fraternity which includes
your ways of supporting the spiritual & physical needs of your professed
sisters and brothers.
Describe your fraternity & evaluate its spiritual well-being & health of
the fraternity itself!
- Are folks properly formed in Franciscan attitudes?
- Is the fraternity a place of the Gospel?
- Is the Fraternity a truly Franciscan experience where
people want to come?
- Does the fraternity support the members needs/desires
for community or do members invest more time in other parish
oriented groups - do you allow time for just sharing and
prayer or is the gathering too structure to allow
flexibility?
- Do professed members regularly wear the TAU both in and
outside the gathering times?
- Are there extra community gatherings (not just monthly
one) to build a closer community?
- does the fraternity occasionally worship together as a
community?
- Is there an annual retreat along with periodic days of
reflection?
- Does the fraternity keep "up to date" as newer
Franciscan scholarship becomes available?
- Do you provide on-going formation regularly? Is
on-going formation done in short segments or drawn out so
folks lose interest & continuity?
- If your group attracting potential new vocations? why
or why not?
- Are you more concerned with doing ministry (being
apostolic) or first being Franciscan (evangelical)?
From the Spiritual Assistant --- same evaluation questions as
for the minister, but done independently from the minister
These narratives will help us a Region to better look for ways to actively
assist each fraternity and/or seek regional initiatives to support your
needs. |
