Parish Pastoral Council

    The purpose of the Parish Pastoral Council is to foster full participation of parishioners in the life and mission of the parish and of the larger Catholic Church.  In addition to the Pastor and Parochial Vicars, the Council consists of select parish staff and elected and appointed lay parishioners who are representative of the entire parish community.  The primary function of the Council is to advise the Pastor on matters pertaining to the mission and activities of the parish.  This includes informing the Pastor of the needs and resources of the parish and its members; developing and reviewing a parish mission statement and pastoral plan; recommending policies, procedures and programs which would assist in the implementation of the mission statement and the parish pastoral plan; and reviewing and evaluating the effectiveness of existing programs. All parishioners are encouraged to offer their ideas, suggestions and critiques to the members of the Council.
