The Pastoral Council is a representative body of the faithful whose focus is on the whole community: its beliefs, its hopes, its sorrows, its concerns, its gifts, and its pursuit of the mission of the Church.
The Pastoral Council provides a means of uniting the parish community in expressing its collective wisdom concerning pastoral plans and activities.
By reason of its existence, the Pastoral Council must read and reflect the “signs of the times” to those planning and/or implementing short and long-term pastoral policies and activities in the parish. Ordinary administration of the parish will be the responsibility of the administrative staff.
By the fact that it is convoked by the Pastor, the Pastoral Council must respond to his call and questions and offer the best consultation possible.
The role of the Pastoral Council is:
The Pastoral Council meets the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6:00 PM in the Cathedral School library. Parishioners are welcome to attend Council meetings to express their interests and concerns or to just observe. Parishioners may contact the council to ask questions about parish activities or to voice their concerns. Concerns are first brought to the Chair and then to the Rector.
Are you interested in participating in the Pastoral Council?
A meeting for prospective members is held each May. All parishioners who would like to prayerfully join and support the Pastoral Council Discernment process are invited to attend. The specific date and time of the meeting will be announced in the church bulletin or you may contact the chair for more information.
