Parish Pastoral Council
The Parish Pastoral Council is the primary consultative body of the parish. It works in conjunction with Pastor to assess the needs of the parish and to develop goals and plans to meet those needs. The Parish Pastoral Council works together with its four commissions to implement goals and objectives. The structure below helps to facilitate parish ministries and insures ongoing development and continuity in our efforts to live out faith and build up the kingdom of God.
