Parish Boards, Committees, and Councils

Pastoral Council

Pastoral CouncilThe Pastoral Council is a representative body whose members are discerned by the parish and who are called to enhance the quality and spirituality of parish life based upon the Parish Mission Statement. While the pastor bears the ultimate responsibility and authority within the parish, there is a shared leadership between the pastor and council that calls forth the gifts of visioning, planning, empowering, and evaluating the overall spiritual life, ministerial growth, and needs of the parish. Meetings are open and welcoming to all parishioners and are held the first Tuesday of every month, September-June, at 7pm in the Pastoral Center.

Stewardship Committee

The Stewardship Committee represents all areas of parish life with its focus on the virtues of Hospitality, Spirituality, and Stewardship. The role of the Committee is to nurture and enhance stewardship efforts in the parish by being creative and looking toward long-range planning; to provide support and encouragement for a steward's lifestyle by communicating the spiritual and theological message of stewardship to the parish community; and to give direction to the community for utilizing people's time, talent, and treasure in response to our baptismal call to build the Kingdom of God. Meetings are held as needed.
