Present: Fr. Joseph Illo, Winnie Neill, Sheila St. John, Fr. Blaise Berg

The opening prayer was led by Father Illo. The minutes of the February 25 conference call were approved. The agenda was adopted.

Newsletter Spring Edition Dr. Polito still plans to do his article for the newsletter on fertility restoration. We have a testimony article, and a second one coming in. Dr. Baggot will write a Medical Matters Column on tubal ligation reversals. Fr. Berg will write the clergy corner, and seek a Spanish translation for a testimony article.

Mass Cards The Board discussed whether or not it would be good to give Mass cards from time to time. Fr. Illo questioned whether or not it was part of our mission statement to offer Mass cards on a regular basis. Fr. Illo will send Sheila some Mass cards. She will send out a card on occasion for the spiritual help of a CANFP member, and then send the intention to the three priests on the Board. Whoever responds first can celebrate the Mass.
