The Pastoral Council is the visionary and pastoral planning body of the parish. After listening to the needs of the community, understanding the Tradition of the Church, and discerning God's Spirit, the Council is responsible for discerning how the parish can be most effective in fullfilling its total mission. Council members are committed to regular times of prayer and study centered on Jesus and the teachings of the Church, and to the building up of a Christian Community.
