Our Pastoral Council & Commissions

PASTORAL COUNCIL

The Pastoral Council exists to serve in a leadership role as advisor to the Pastor for the purposes of assessing the current vision of the parish and its’ ministries and establishing a vision for the future of the parish. Each council member is a liaison to a commission.


The Council attempts to gather the thoughts and ideas of the parish community in order to reflect and discern on setting the parish vision.


Meeting agendas and minutes are posted to keep the parish informed. If you have a particular item for Pastoral Council to get involved in please contact any member. Guests are welcome to the council meetings, however they should contact the Secretary to be placed on the agenda.
