There are a wide variety of ways to be involved in parish life and leadership.

Pastoral Council

The Pastoral Council, as the elected leadership of the parish, is grounded in faith and is to serve as the energizing, coordinating and unifying body which enables individual members to contribute to the processes which guide and support the total effort of the parish community to carry out the mission of Jesus Christ.

Structure

The Pastoral Council includes our pastor, ten elected members including a youth representative, and the chair of the finance committee. The Council’s executive commission is made up of the pastor, Pastoral Council chairperson, vice-chairperson and secretary. All elected members serve a three year term except for the youth representative who serves a one year term. Each Pastoral Council member who is not a member of the executive commission serves as an active member of a Pastoral Council Commission, as well as a liaison between the Pastoral Council and that commission.
Standing commissions of the Pastoral Council include Liturgy, Parish Life, Social Justice, and Formation & Education. Finance Council is parallel to the Pastoral Council. A separate and consolidated Board of Education oversees education. Elections to the Pastoral Council are held annually in the spring of the year.

Finance Council

The Finance Council serves as an advisory body to the pastor/pastoral administrator and the Pastoral Council regarding the administration and stewardhship of human resources, parish facilities, and parish finances, including the annual budget and long-range financial development. The Finance Council is a consultative body that enables the parish to live its mission by prudent and lawful stewardship of all resources.

Liturgy

The Liturgy Commission exists to nourish and give direction to the liturgical worship elements of the parish. Through the liturgy the Paschal Mystery is celebrated with its impact on parishioner’s lives as disciples. We assist the pastor in facilitating the prayer of the community, the Body of Christ, which is Christ’s presence in the world.
