Parish Pastoral Council

The Parish Pastoral Council is an advisory body of representative parishioners who assist the Pastor in his role as shepherd of the People of God. By actively participating in the Parish functions and attending Council meetings, the members have an awareness of all ministries, allowing them to act as the Pastor's closest advisory group. The Council helps envision, plan, oversee, and evaluate Parish activities consistent within the guidelines and visions of the Parish.
