Members: Denise,(Stoneridge) Jean(Rosary), Janet (91st St.), Maureen (Greenwich), Pat (Stoneridge), Louris (Carrollton), Marcia (St. Charles), Kathleen (Sheridan Rd.)

Working with Employees Keepers of the Flame Committee: meet once a month to discuss an article (anyone can come) Commissioning Ceremony (Philippine Liturgy) for members to recommit Who are the Keepers? How are new hires incorporated into the mission? Is there a hiring process that establishes a "formation to mission" component? Do we hire not just the head, but the heart? Have they been asked about the Goals and Criteria, the mission? How are all formed? Mentoring Ideas for Formation: new teachers meet with mentors monthly, forming people (2nd year employees) by reading Journey to the Heart (cd-rom) and have meetings, two mentors (one to show how the day to day operations, the other with a passport - monthly events at the Rosary, New Orleans), formation to new employees before the faculty in-service, also working with parents to working with the goals and criteria (having meetings an the admissions level), Reentre - means re-entry - the students come together on the first day and read from the Life at the Sacred Heart and the student leaders (highest grade level) from the school are called by name. Carrolton's mentoring book, Roots that Give Us Wings retreat (attend within first three years) - better to go between year 3-5, collection of stories of how you arrived to Sacred Heart,

How long do we give an employee the time to grow and assimliate to the mission? Suzanne Cook

When do we form people? Is it before the work day, after the work day There has to be the commitment to time

I am a Child of the Sacred Heart Each day, dear Lord, I will.... Love as you love, Study and learn, Help those who need me, Be a friend to all, and make wise choices, St. Madeleine Sophie, hear my prayer. St. Rose Philippine, hear my prayer. Amen.
