The parish Pastoral Council is a consultative body to the pastor. Governed by norms established by the Archbishop, the Pastoral Council assists the pastor in fulfilling the mission of the parish.
The Parish Mission Statement:
A diverse Catholic family guided by the Holy Sprit, committed to serve others and deepen our relationship with the heart of Jesus.
The purpose of the Pastoral Council is to promote communication and understanding among parishioners, parish organizations and ministries. It also provides recommendations for establishing parish priorities, directions and policies.
The Council size is variable and determined by the pastor but usually not more than ten members. Members are selected to reflect the broad diversity in the parish in a multitude of aspects. The usual term is three years which is renewable once. Member terms are staggered to facilitate continuity within the council.
The Pastoral Council meets with our pastor the 2nd Monday of each month.
