Councils & Committees

The Pastoral Council assists the pastor and staff to implement the mission statement, establish goals that witness to Gospel values and develop the parish as a community of faith.

The role of council is to develop, assure adequate resources and maintain the parish strategic plan through implementation of the diocesan Parish Mission Planning Process and regular evaluation of progress against the strategic initiatives in the plan. Each council member is assigned to co-lead, with the appropriate staff person, a strategic initiative identified in the strategic plan.
