27	Catholic Identity Strengths · Leadership that follows in the style of Fr. Harris, Mrs. Jeannine McAllister, and Mr. Bill Galindo. · Use of Loyola Press Christ Our Life religion series. · Participation in numerous paraliturgies held throughout the school year. · Participation in the all-school weekly liturgies prepared by the students. · Celebration of a monthly liturgy at Heritage Manor. · Emphasis on daily prayer at St. Edwards school (four times daily). · Reconciliation offered regularly for St. Edwards and CCD students, grades 3-8. · Recognition of the importance of “handing down” the Catholic Faith to another generation through the teaching example of faculty and staff.
28	Catholic Identity Weaknesses/Needs · Need for a religious education library for the parish. · Support of foreign missions Minimal service to and exposure in the Chillicothe Community. Weak relationship between St. Edward’s School and CCD program. · Lack of Sunday liturgy for students.
29	Catholic Identity Critical Issues Development and expansion of a religious education library. Student participation in missions and service to the Chillicothe community. Increased integration and involvement of all students (CCD and St. Edward’s School). Increased student involvement in Liturgies.
30	Catholic Identity Strategic Tactics Perform independent review of the library by a public library librarian (complete). Work with Bradley University students to set up electronic database (in progress). Review and inventory all books in library. Create time once a month when library is open to parish (also by appointment). Establish local access to Family Resource Center.
31	Catholic Identity Strategic Tactics Research and compile list of service opportunities. Community Needs Agency Crisis Group Vacation Bible School Special People Encounter Christ Three Sisters Park Distribute to classes Update List annually
32	Catholic Identity Strategic Tactics Encourage each grade to perform a service project which may be executed jointly with CCD and St. Edwards classes.
