Take time to comment on Faith Alive
Still time to comment on the proposal
By Tony Staley

Area Catholics still have time to comment on Faith Alive - the proposal to start a Catholic school system in Green Bay and increase interparish collaboration in ministries.
To see the entire proposal click on the Faith Alive icon on the diocesan website, www.gbdioc.org. A link allows feedback to the proposal.
The Reid Group, a Seattle consulting firm, was in Green Bay last week to discuss the proposal with various groups. John Reid, founder and co-director, said responses from the website to the proposal will be accepted until Oct. 31. There had been problems for a couple of weeks in Seattle with receiving the feedback, but those have been fixed, Reid said.
Now's the time to speak up.
