Pastoral Council Agendas and Meeting Minutes

Role of the Pastoral Council

The primary role of the Pastoral Council is to be a consultative body for the pastor. The Council is in effect a living model of the parish as a worshipping community. Often referred to as the "wisdom" of the faith community, the Council's responsibility is to represent the needs of all the people of the parish and by reaching out to the parish determine what issues are impacting their lives. Through a process of prayer, study, dialogue and most importantly, discernment and consensus, the Pastoral Council can recommend practical conclusions regarding these issues. When policies created by the other consultative bodies impact the entire faith community, these bodies seek consensus with the Pastoral Council.

Selection Process

Pastoral Council members may either be appointed by the pastor or determined through the process of discernment. Pastoral Council by-laws covering membership and leadership terms are available from the Parish Office or from any Council member.
