Parish Council

This group meets the second Monday of each month, September through June, at 6:00pm in the parish center.  The parish Annual Meeting is the second Monday in December.

They are the governing body of the parish, consultative to the pastor, whose purpose is four-fold:

· Listen to and respond to the Spirit of God - prayerfully considering what the Spirit of God is calling the parish to be and become.
·  Organize lay participation and cooperation - working with the committees and staff
· Facilitate shared practical wisdom - utilizing their skills along with the pastor’s to meet the concerns and needs of all parish members
· Do parish planning - including assessment of needs, and establishing parish goals and priorities.
