"The Church is responsible for providing the means for the parish community to express its shared wisdom concerning short and long range pastoral plans and activities.
The parish pastoral council provides for this by serving in a consultative role and advising the pastor (administrator, pastoral leader) on matters presented to plan, implement, promote, and support parish pastoral activities, (Canon 536)
An active, well-formed parish pastoral council is a key element to the parish and to the diocesan bishop."
~Bishop David Ricken, 2015 Decree
More about the Pastoral Council
The pastoral council holds listening sessions every Sunday before the third Tuesday of the month after the morning Masses. Stop by their table - they would love to meet you!
"The Church is responsible for the financial resources which have been entrusted to it.
In each parish there is to be a finance council which is governed, in addition to universal law, by norms issued by the diocesan bishop and in which the Christian faithful, selected according to these same norms, are to assist the pastor/(administrator/pastoral leader) in the administration of the goods of the parish. (Canon 537)
An active, well-formed parish finance council is a key element to the parish and to the diocesan bishop."
~Bishop David Ricken, 2015 Decree
