Parish Council

Our new parish council will be meeting on December 2 to begin their discussion of the parish mission plan and roadmap, and start planning for 2022.  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.

John Morelli has agreed to serve as the Chairperson for the council.   The new council charter calls this a "working council" with members who are active in one of the main focus areas of our current parish mission plan:  Evangelization & Discipleship, Parish Operations, Parish Outreach, and Liturgy & Encounter. 

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:  Shannon Ausloos
Parish Operations:  Tracey Domiter
Parish Outreach: Laurie Pollack
Liturgy & Encounter: Maria Grygleski 

Parish Council minutes will be posted to the parish website after each meeting has concluded.  
 

Buildings & Grounds Committee

Our parish buildings & grounds committee has begun a walk through of all our properties with the goal of making a capital project list that they will then help the parish prioritize.  Anyone with experience and/or interest in facilities & properties is welcome to contact Finance Council Chair Dave Lelinksi for more information about how you can help the Buildings & Grounds Committee.
