Pastoral Council
The Pastoral Council is a group of volunteer parishioners who, together with the pastor, acts as a consultative structure in a parish designated primarily to envision, plan and oversee the mission of the parish community as an extension of the mission of Jesus.
Guided by the Mission Statement and the five-year plan, the Pastoral Council collaborates with staff members, parishioners, committees, ministries, and organizations to carry out this vision. Pastoral Council members serve a three-year term. Three new members are commissioned each year through a discernment process conducted each Fall. Refer to “About Us” on the homepage to see the Mission Statement and the Five-Year Plan.
The Pastoral Council meets on the second Tuesday of each month. Parishioners wishing to bring issues before the council may submit their request to the Parish Office.
