Pastoral Council has adapted three key priorities for the upcoming years to guide us on our Mission statement: To know, love, and serve Christ.
To Know Christ: We aim to increase participation in small groups within our parish. As Fr. Seda has pointed out, Catholics grow more in circles than in pews.
To Love Christ: We strive to continually improve how we welcome and integrate new members into our parish community. Make an effort to reach out to fellow parishioners you may not know, especially new families. One way to do this is by sitting with unfamiliar faces at church events.
To Serve Christ: We are focused on increasing the number of parishioners who actively engage in meeting Christ face-to-face and serving Him through those in need. Each month, different ministries will be highlighted at Mass and through other channels.
With these three goals rooted in our mission statement, we invite you to join us in bringing them to life. Together, we will truly become a parish that knows, loves, and serves Christ.
Adopted: March, 2025
Parish Pastoral Council, which shares responsibility with the pastor for the vision, planning and decision making required for the parish. It provides a channel for dialogue between parish members and the pastor. Each council member serves on one of the parish commissions (Social Justice, Liturgy, Stewardship, Parish Life, Faith Formation Buildings & Grounds) or on the deanery council or as a member of the executive committee. Eight members are elected for three-year terms, three each year, and three members are appointed for one-year terms.
The Council meets on the second Tuesday of every month, September through June, at 7:00 p.m. in Pastors Hall. All meetings are open to parish members.
For consideration of an elected position on the Pastoral Council, please contact Fr. Jon Seda.
