Pastoral Council |
Pastoral Councils are based on the recognition of the dignity of every member of the Church, and a realization of the rightful role that all the people of God play in the life of the Church. Since the parish is a local manifestation of Christ’s Church, the Pastoral Council carries out its efforts in relationship to the Universal Church, to the entire Diocesan community, within its particular, unique neighborhood setting.
The Pastoral Council is that group of parishioners called upon to exercise the ministry of leadership in the parish – young and old, long standing and newly arrived.
The Pastoral Council commits itself in its responsibility in giving leadership through service. The Council is an attempt to get beyond the interest and concern of the few. Council members are asked to expand the view, the understanding, and the sensitivity of the Pastor and Staff. Further, they are expected to represent a broad spectrum of parishioner opinion.
