Pastoral Council
The Pastoral Council shall serve as a consultative group to the pastor, to assist him in fostering pastoral activities and in providing for the continued growth of parish life.
The areas of focus include:
- The spiritual formation and growth of the people of the parish
- The education of adults and youth in the faith
- The fostering and nurturing of “community” in the parish
- The evangelization of the non-participative Catholics in the parish and the unchurched
- Witnessing to the Gospel of social justice in one’s community through service.
The members of the Pastoral Council will:
- Provide information and make recommendations that reflect the spirit of the parish, in order to advise the pastor concerning decisions affecting the life of the parish community
- Be responsible with the pastor for the pastoral planning of the parish, including ecumenical activities
- Review, evaluate, and make recommendations to the pastor and the Parish Finance Council concerning the funding of parish programs
- Provide the communications, coordination, and cooperation among the parish members, its organizations, and committees
- Participate in and cooperate with regional and diocesan decisions pertaining to parish life
The Council ideally will be composed of 9 members representing a wide variety of parish membership including young adults and seniors, newly married or single, parents of children in private and public schools, etc. Variety is a blessing because it is what makes up every parish and the universal Church. Meetings will be monthly and members commit to a 1-3 year term.
