Councils
Pastoral Council
The purpose of the Pastoral Council is to be both a consultant to the pastor and his staff in their ministry, and a voice of discernment, focus, and direction for the parish at large.
The Pastoral Council assumes the responsibility for assuring the implementation of all annual and long-range strategic plans.
The council listens to the Holy Spirit speaking through our parish by various forms of communication, including reports from commissions, program evaluations, staff presentations, and individual concerns brought forward.
Terms for the Pastoral Council members are staggered three-year terms.
