The Pastoral Council is a visionary body. Representatives of the parish foster the full participation of the entire parish in the life and mission of the parish and of the Universal Church by setting parish direction and planning. This body is advisory to the Pastor or Administrator. The council is comprised of the chairs of three steering committees, 6 parishioners who are selected by the parish membership and three appointed by pastor. The council meets monthly on the last Tuesday and as needed to provide for special concerns.
