Region II Meeting - ACCY conversation

Thanks to David Morris and the St. Bernadette community for hosting us last night for our February Region II meeting. Among the things discussed was ACCY. Our plan is to meet twice prior to the ACCY Spring Gathering/Commissioning on June 5th.

We will be meeting twice among the dates of:
March 27
April 10, 17, 24
May 1

Please check with your youth and adult leaders who will be involved with ACCY and see what will work for them. Because of where we are in the timeline and the year, we will not necessarily be able to accomodate everyone at both meetings but the hope is we would get a majority of people involved between the two of them and start formally with the June 5th gathering for next year's group. If you have individuals who are graduating this year and will not be around next year but want to be part of that formative process, they can be your parish representatives...

While we will use the 2 gatherings prior to June 5th as a springboard into next year, it is not required that the youth representatives from your parish continue on into 2010-11. That is up to each individual parish.

We are looking at a timeframe of 10-1pm. The hope/expectation is that each parish that participates would come up with 2 youth leaders and 1-2 adult leaders for the regional ACCY.

The subcommittee will continue its work on fleshing out other items related to ACCY in the weeks prior to our next Region II Meeting on March 25.

The basic outline for the first Region II ACCY gathering will be:
1. Community building/networking
2. Role of ACCY - Listening Session where youth leaders voice their thoughts
3. Mission/purpose - visioning what ACCY in Region II will be about
