St. Matthew Catholic Church Mission The Eucharistic Catholic community of St. Matthew loves Christ above all things and our neighbor as ourselves. In our faith journey, our parish family will be engaged and spiritually committed; fulfilling our vision through shared Gospel values, prayer, fellowship, service, outreach and teaching.
2 Welcome Letter Dear Parish Leader, You are embarking on a rewarding journey as you take on the responsibility of leadership here at St. Matthew Catholic Church. From Parish Pastoral Council member to Prayer Group leader, from Angel Tree to Arts and Environment, all of St. Matthew s ministries play a part in helping us to fulfill our vision through shared Gospel values, prayer, fellowship, service, outreach and teaching. This Parish Leader Handbook has been designed to help you do your job more easily. It includes parish Policies and Procedures on communications, finances and the use of facilities, as well as a description of the values and competencies that make up a St. Matthew Parish Leader. You will receive periodic updates about the policies. Updated versions of the handbook will be available on the parish website. We hope that you will read through all of this information carefully. Your receipt of this Handbook implies your acceptance of the policies therein. Please don t hesitate to contact us if you have any ideas that would help our ministries run more smoothly or if you have any questions with which we can help you. May God bless you in your efforts!

3 Purpose of the Ministry Leader Handbook Our parish s Pastoral Plans reflect St. Matthew Catholic Church s commitment to parishioner and faith community spiritual growth and sustainability. The Pastoral Plans recognize that St Matthew Catholic Church s size and complexity warrants talented leaders to maintain spiritual growth. St. Matthew Catholic Church is truly blessed to have over 100 ministries supporting its faith community. St. Matthew Catholic Church values its ministry leaders commitment of time and talent and recognizes the important role its ministries play in supporting St. Matthew Catholic Church s mission. In Called and Gifted, the U.S. Bishops Committee on the Laity states: Baptism and confirmation empower all believers to share in some form of ministry. Although the specific form of participation in ministry varies according to the gifts of the Holy Spirit, all who share in this work are united with one another. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all the members have the same function, so too we, though many, are one body in Christ and individually members of one another. We have gifts that differ according to the favor bestowed on each of us (Rom 12:4-6). The Ministry Leader Handbook was developed to support St. Matthew Catholic Church s commitment to its dedicated parish leaders so they have the information, tools, support and training to effectively lead their ministry. This Handbook is organized into the following major sections: 1. Key Requirements The Key Requirements section of the Handbook will help you identify the tasks and activities that you must complete as a leader at St. Matthew Catholic Church. In addition, the communication and financial responsibilities of leaders are reviewed. 2. Administrative Guidelines The Administrative Guidelines section of the Handbook provides you with some recommendations to maximize the operation of your ministry. Although not required, these activities will help you increase the engagement of your ministry members. 3. Portrait of a Ministry Leader The Portrait of a Ministry Leader section of the Handbook is designed to help you reflect on your personal spiritual journey and how you can leverage your talents and strengths as a ministry leader. 4. Appendices The Appendices provide tools and supporting documentation such as answers to frequently asked questions, sample agendas and planning forms, as well as prayers appropriate for meetings.

13 Portrait of a Ministry Leader Engagement We often sing the words in Mass, we are all one body recognizing the importance of every single member of St. Matthew - we all affect the church as a whole. With this in mind, the more committed each of us becomes in our own individual spiritual journey, the more our church and our community will benefit. Engagement at St. Matthew Catholic Church it is about increasing involvement which will lead to a higher level of spirituality in all of our parishioners. As a ministry leader you are an example of an engaged parishioner. You realize the importance of being engaged and the blessings of giving back and ministering to others. The Portrait of a Ministry Leader section of this Handbook is intended to help you reflect on your own personal spiritual journey as a ministry leader. It offers Spiritual Core Values to guide you, Ministry Leader Competencies that you can apply and, a review of Living Your Strengths as a reference. Spiritual Core Values As a ministry leader, you undoubtedly possess certain Spiritual Core Values. Ministry leaders at St. Matthew are selected first because of their ability to imitate Christ in His love and service to others and second, because of logistical talents or being a match with the qualifications for the role. A ministry leader s love for the people he or she serves and for those who serve with them is likely greater than the love for the ministry lead job. The St. Matthew Evangelization Committee describes a set of Spiritual Core Values that you may find helpful on your own spiritual journey and as you lead the ministry. You foster a relationship with Christ and try to know Him so as to be able to imitate Him well. To imitate Christ means to be Christ-like. You strive to stay close to Christ. Your relationship is not a long distance one. You know that Christ dwells within you and understand that you are to be His hands, feet, eyes, ears and mouth in all that you do to lead your ministry You maintain an active prayer life and you receive the Sacraments regularly. You know that prayer is not only speaking with God but listening and being open and receptive to His answers. You share your gifts and talents without thought of personal gain or fame and makes sharing Christ s love with others a cornerstone of their ministry. As a ministry leader, you are aware that you are a role model for these Spiritual Core Values. Others will look to you, your actions and your words as an example. Consider your own spiritual life: Page 13 of 30
14 How frequently do I pray? How frequently do I pray the Rosary? How do I incorporate Eucharistic adoration into my prayer life? Do I attend Mass faithfully and receive Christ in the Eucharist? How often do I read or study Scripture? How regularly am I receiving the Sacraments? As you lead your ministry, reflect on how these Spiritual Core Values are integrated into the ministry s services, actions and events. The following suggestions may help strengthen the Spiritual Core Values in your ministry. Include Opening and Closing Prayers at your ministry meetings or events (see appendix for examples and suggestions) Share knowledge of other ministries or events sponsored by St. Matthew Catholic Church with volunteers to encourage further engagement Include biblical verses associated with the ministry tasks at hand to draw a spiritual link between the volunteer work and Christ Include prayers or scripture messages in your communication with volunteers Support the ministry volunteers on their faith journey Share reflections/readings/psalms at ministry meetings for group discussions Share personal spiritual moments with others to spur individual spiritual development in the areas of Holiness, Formation and Evangelization Ministry Leader Competencies Those that you serve through your ministry and those that you serve with, likely have a set of expectations of you as the ministry leader. Awareness of these expectations can help you be a more effective ministry leader. The following table summarizes these expectations into competencies. Competencies include behaviors, knowledge, skills or experience that you likely have and will draw upon to achieve the goals of your ministry. Page 14 of 30
15 Competency Description Spirituality Exhibit an understanding of Catholic Church teachings, ethics and traditions Act as a person of Living Faith, fully participating in parish life Support the goals and values of St. Matthew Catholic Church Encourage the spiritual development of self and others Leadership Lead by example, you represent St. Matthew Catholic Church Make decisions collaboratively and openly while exhibiting sound judgment Adapt style and approach in response to unexpected events Identify and resolve problems in a timely manner Praise, recognize and celebrate the contributions of others Service Respond promptly to ministry leadership responsibilities and commitments Adhere to all St. Matthew Catholic Church policies and procedures Seek support as required from St. Matthew Catholic Church staff or clergy Communication Listen well, speak clearly and respond to questions positively Write clearly and informatively and in a style sensitive to the audience Professionalism Treat others with respect and consideration Planning & Organization, Follow through on commitments Maintain a positive attitude in all situations Manage challenging parishioner situations with care Facilitate ministry meetings and plan ministry activities Seek opportunities to improve ministry outcomes or processes Complete ministry leadership reporting requirements as requested Living Your Strengths Journey The Living Your Strengths Journey is a six-week program (meeting once a week) where you join a small group and learn how to become more effective personally, professionally, and spiritually. The Gallop Organization created the program. As a ministry leader you have more than likely already taken the journey or will begin in the near future. Living Your Strengths will help you understand your talents and enhance your leadership skills. There are so many wonderful things about the program but some of the best attributes are: Learning specifically/scientifically exactly what your inner-strengths are. Learning that you can achieve so much more by focusing on what your strengths are versus wasting time on your weaknesses. Understanding that no person has all the right stuff. Everyone has positive attributes but with it comes various weaknesses. And strangely enough your greatest strength can at times be your greatest weakness. Page 15 of 30
16 Gaining more compassion/tolerance in dealing with others through having a better understanding of how people are wired. Needless to say, just those four points alone make taking this particular journey so worthwhile. St. Matthew Catholic Church supports the Living Your Strengths Journey because it supports the mission of our parish evangelizing and ministering. The stronger our faith, the more engaged we are in our church, the further we are on our spiritual journey, and the more spiritually effective we are as St. Matthew Catholic Church parishioners; the more we as a church family will be able to accomplish the church s mission. Coaching for the Ministry Leader Many people who have participated in the Living Your Strengths Journey enjoyed it so much that they wanted more. Now that they had a better understanding of what their greatest strengths were, many of them wanted more direction with what to do with it. Realizing that this would be the case and also understanding that it would help the church increase engagement, St. Matthew Catholic Church leadership established a coaching program. Our church offers certified coaches who are available to meet with parishioners one-on-one to discuss ways to help them personally, professionally, and spiritually. A coach is someone who helps the seeker: Explore and understand his or her God-given talents. Maximize those talents in all aspects of his or her life. Discover God s calling or purpose for his or her life. According to American Author, Frederick Buechner, a calling is a place where your deepest gladness meets the world s deepest need. We are all endowed with unique God-given spiritual gifts, talents and experiences (strengths) that make up who we are. God has a specific role for each of us to play in His plan. Our specific calling brings us joy and a sense of wholeness. Where can you be most effective and at your best? That is your calling! Coaching ultimately has the purpose of increasing the engagement level and performance of individuals. We look at each person as an individual on the basis of talent then help that individual discover how to build upon his or her talents to develop strengths within his or her role. It is a confidential, free, private one on one dialogue centered on talents and strengths to help one become more, tapping into what already resides within each person. Needless to say, these coaches are a fantastic resource for our church and for you as a ministry leader. If you would like to contact a coach to assist you personally or as a ministry leader, please refer to the list of coaches on the website using the following link. Page 16 of 30

Explore options to resolve the situation by discussion the person s talents and their desire to contribute their time and talents to St. Matthew Catholic Church. Depending upon the outcome of the discussion, you may suggest that this ministry may not be the best option for them. Suggest that their talents may be better suited for another ministry. Additionally, you may: Direct the member to the Coordinator of Volunteers Suggest the member discover his talents through the Living Your Strengths Journey Suggest that they reach out to a St. Matthew Catholic Church Living Your Strengths Coach to find the proper placement for their talents.

Map description Edit
The once-beautiful manor house located near here was known for its extravagant balls, which were attended by the cream of the local youth.

secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice
telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised.

all of their on-line communications are insecure. Bizness Inc. cannot take any
responsibility for the security of information transmitted over Bizness Inc.'s
service equipment. Additional details on privacy and Bizness Inc.'s use of

Clients are required to use the Bizness Inc. network
responsibly. This includes respecting the other clients of Bizness Inc. Bizness
Inc. reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel service with any client who
uses the Bizness Inc. software or network in such a way that adversely affects
other Bizness Inc. clients. While Bizness Inc. may monitor its service
electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily,
as a general practice, Bizness Inc. does not monitor its clients'
communications or activities to determine whether they are in compliance with
the TOU. However, when Bizness Inc. becomes aware of any violation of the TOU
or other user agreements, Bizness Inc. may take any action to stop or correct
such violation, including, but not limited to, denying access to Bizness Inc.'s
software, services and equipment or to the Internet. In addition, Bizness Inc.
may take action against a client or a customer of such client because of the
activities of such client. Bizness Inc. anticipates that clients who offer
Internet services will cooperate with Bizness Inc. in any corrective or
preventive action that Bizness Inc. deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with
such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of Bizness Inc. policy

action may affect other clients of the Bizness Inc. customer.
Client acknowledges that from time to time Bizness Inc. may deem
it necessary to limit or suspend the availability of Bizness Inc. services to
perform routine and remedial maintenance to the network, hardware, software, or

grounds for client account deactivation. Bizness Inc. will be the sole arbiter
as to what constitutes a violation of the TOU. Bizness Inc. reserves the right
to remove any client account without prior notice and to refuse service to
anyone at any time. When Bizness Inc. becomes aware of an alleged violation of
its TOU, Bizness Inc. will start an investigation. During the investigation,
Bizness Inc. may restrict a client's access in order to prevent further
potentially unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity of the violation,
Bizness Inc. may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate a
client's web software licence and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such
violation is a criminal offense, Bizness Inc. will notify the appropriate law
enforcement authorities of such violation. An unlisted activity may also be a
violation of the TOU if it is illegal, irresponsible, or constitutes disruptive
use of the Internet. Bizness Inc. does not issue credits for outages incurred
through service disablement resulting from client TOU violations. Bizness Inc.
clients and their customers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bizness Inc.
from any claims resulting from the use of our services that damages them or any

Linda tries to sign up Gene for an expensive baseball camp that turns out to be a scam, while Tina becomes an espresso addict.
Pilot Viruet of The A.V. Club gave the episode an A, saying "For most of the episode Bob is, as Linda so eloquently puts it, "such a dick." It was a little odd watching him enthusiastically root against his son but it made watching him eventually lose—and watching Linda really hold her own in an argument—that much funnier. By the end of the day, Linda and Bob are screaming each other, their car is soaked in soda, and Tina is chugging coffee and cigarette butts straight out of the pot because hey, they're not a family that's known for quiet dignity. It's a weird and great ending to a weird and great season."[2]
The episode received a 1.6 rating and was watched by a total of 3.38 million people. This made it the fourth most watched show on Animation Domination that night, beating The Cleveland Show but losing to Family Guy with 4.82 million.[3]

Describes how to build a DLL or shared library from a Simulink model.
44 Downloads
Updated 25 Jan 2006No License
This document attempts to give a hands-on description on how to make a DLL from a controller built in Simulink. This makes it possible to develop advanced controllers in Simulink, and then use them from an arbitrary application. Persons with knowledge in the C programming language should have no problems converting the steps in this tutorial to build Linux/Unix libraries, thus expanding the scope of this document to be applicable not only on Windows.
Good for me.
need some help
I have an applicatoin:
generate DLL from a simulink model, DLL is called in an external c program, when DLL initializes, it will load mat file and variables in m files.
can i change the m files without recompile the DLL?
Need some help on this.
When I have generated the code and update the grt_shell.c file for inputs and outputs I tried to build the DLL as mentioned in the section 4.6. when I execute the command gmake –f ($NAMEOFMODEL).mk I am getting an error ":128: *** missing separator. Stop.".
I understand that this is caused due to the use of space in place of tabs. But as you might know the .mk file is generated by the RTW. I checked the line 128 in the .mk file and it has no space at all.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
We are getting the error ' NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'cn_main.ofile'
The make command returned an error of 2
'An_error_occurred_during_the_call_to_make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
This is appeared when we try to build the CANoe supported model. We are trying to interface Matlab into CANoe using the dll generated by the Matlab. But dll is not generated. Can anybody have a answer, please let us know.
i can follow till 5th step of 4.6
than gmake gives me this out put
C:\123\add1_grt_rtw>gmake -f add1.mk
C:/PROGRA~1/MATLAB/R2008b\sys\lcc\bin\lcclnk -s -LC:/PROGRA~1/MATLAB/R2008b\sys\
lcc\lib -o ../add1.exe add1.obj add1_data.obj rtGetInf.obj rtGetNaN.obj rt_log
ging.obj rt_nonfinite.obj grt_main.obj rt_sim.obj @add1_ref.rsp
*** Created executable: add1.exe
this donot match with step 4.6 - 6 so what am i doing wrong?
please help i need it real bad and real fast
i am using make 3.81 compiler
hii.. i cannot create dll. the error shows that
""you must define MSDevDir"
does anyone know about this?
hi everybody.
I have a problem. when I attemp to use gmake -f ($NAMEMODEL).mk I receive this error:
??? Undefined function or method 'gmake' for input arguments of type 'char'.
if I use the command :
!gmake -f ($NAMEMODEL).mk
it works but I can not see what gmake is dooing, the only output is :
>> !gmake -f controller.mk
gmake: `../controller.exe' is up to date.
can someone explain me hot to solve this problem? or please send me the code that I need to continue?
Many thanks,
Good stuff here. Thanks! I'd just like to add a little bit. For those who don't know pascal, please see the python script pasted below. This can be used to test your dll. This specific example is for 3xinput and 2xoutput:
from ctypes import *
# first make some hooks into the impported functions
initiateController = cdll.controller._initiateController
getControllerOutput = cdll.controller._getControllerOutput
performCleanup = cdll.controller._performCleanup
# This makes python realise that the function outputs are pointers to c_chars
initiateController.restype = c_char_p
getControllerOutput.restype = c_char_p
performCleanup.restype = c_char_p
print "\n\nInitiate"
errMsg = initiateController()
print "initiateController reports : ", errMsg
print "\n\nNow to do some stuff"
inputDoubles = 3*c_double
inputData = inputDoubles(2.5, 3.0, 1.0)
p_inputData = pointer(inputData)
outputDoubles = 2*c_double
outputData = outputDoubles(0.0, 0.0)
p_outputData = pointer(outputData)
#The following line shows two different methods for passing the pointers in
errMsg = getControllerOutput(c_int(3), p_inputData, c_int(2), byref(outputData) )
print "getControllerOutput reports : ", errMsg
print "output[0] = ", outputData[0], "\noutput[1] = ", outputData[1]
print "\n\nCleanup"
errMsg = performCleanup()
print "performCleanup reports : ", errMsg
Nice information, thank you
I had a similar error to Dennis from a project I was compiling and linking into a project here at work. Turns out I hadn't set up the Configuration Parameters correctly (Tools -> Real Time Workshop -> Options). After I had set these up appropriately the error went away.
Hello Roland Pfeiffer,
Thanks the document "from simulink model to dll",It is very helpful to me.
but there is some error.
when I construct a project in vc2005, the simulink model dll is call in a simple main function.
when I build it , the error is happen; the error is
simstruc.h(282) : fatal error C1189: #error : Unrecognized use.
Dennis Wouters,
I am new to matlab and RTWEC, I am not able to find the custom target example. can you please guide / share the information.
This document really kick-started my work. Thanks.
I ended up developing a more general approach that requires only a little more programming.
* Derive a custom TLC from the grt.tlc file using the "Custom Target" example in the RTW Embedded Coder documentation, which does NOT require RTWEC, only RTW. (This is easy.)
* Derive a custom TMF from the grt_lcc.tmf file. Make the changes proposed in the RTWEC example as well as the changes that Roland proposes to make to the 'lcc' and 'lcclnk' command line options. (Not too hard, you only need to change 2 or 3 lines.)
* Finally derive a C file as described by Roland. (This is the most work, but is outlined very well in the article.)
This will give you the opportunity to configure the model to build directly to a DLL without any manual intervention!
Happy DLL'ing!
I want to use matlab program in VB
Very good tutorial. I would recommend adding RTW to the keywords for this tutorial.
Excellent step-by-step tutorial. It helped me to save a lot of time.
