Saint
Mary Magdalen School
Christian
Formation Committee
(CFC)
The CFC is
one
of five standing committees of the Parish Pastoral Council, and is
established
and governed by Diocesan guidelines. The CFC is concerned with total
Catholic
Education in the parish. In collaboration with the pastor, it is to
provide
leadership and guidance in the area of Christian formation, and to
formulate
goals and objectives that will guide Catholic formation programs for
children,
youth and adults. The committee is comprised of five components: the
School Component which shall function as a school board for St. Mary
Magdalen
School, the Religious Education Component, the Adult Formation
Component, the RCIA Component and the Youth Ministry Component. A
full component meeting is held on a regular basis and a report goes to
Pastoral Council by the CFC representative.
CFC
School Component
The CFC School
Component is
comprised
of up to twelve persons elected by school families or appointed by the
pastor. The term of office is for two years, and no more than three
consecutive

of
three persons are elected each year. During the school year, the school
component meets monthly, in the Library. Meeting minutes are
recorded and sent to the full CFC, the Associate Pastor, Pastoral
Council and the SMM faculty.
