Parish Pastoral Council

The Parish Pastoral Council is the preeminent advisory body in the parish. All other councils, boards, and commissions report and are held accountable to this council. The Pastoral Council is the principle instrument through which the laity of the parish participate in the decision-making processes of the parish. It has a six-fold mission:

  • To be a sign of God’s Kingdom
  • To support the pastoral team
  • To study, reflect upon and pray about parish needs
  • To be a leader of mission
  • To be a reconciler
  • To coordinate and initiate activities and ministries
