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.
Those who are intersted in participating in the Parish Council are encouraged to reach out to the parish staff member leading each of the focus areas. Participating in the Parish Annual Meeting will also help give you a sense of the coming goals and previous year's accomplishments for each of those areas:
Evangelization & Discipleship: Evan Brankin
Parish Operations: Tracey Domiter
Parish Outreach: Laurie Pollack
Liturgy & Encounter: Maria Grygleski
The purpose of the liturgy team is to enable evangelization and express abundant Sundays by enhancing the living experience of the people of God. The team is responsible for facilitating the worship life of the parish community by coordinating and providing quality liturgical experiences which celebrate and strengthen the membership’s journey of faith and help parishioners nurture a love and devotion to their Catholic faith and identity through the liturgy.
The primary focus of the liturgy team is on doing the basics, gathering, welcoming, proclaiming the Word, and celebrating the Eucharist, exceptionally well, Sunday after Sunday.

The Discipleship & Evangelization Team looks at the overall health of the Evangelizaton & Discipleship efforts at our parish. They set visionary goals and actively work to accomplish those goals. They are responsible for evaluating the fruitfulness of each of our programs, events, and ministries and answering the primary question: Is this (event/program/ministry) creating or supporting disciples? The group meets monthly with some additional project-based meetings throughout the year.
