We must be aware of the responsibilities that accompany our work, knowing that God's goodness and graces support us in our ministries."

COMBINED PASTORAL COUNCIL
The purpose of the Pastoral Council is to foster full participation of the entire Parish in the life and mission of the Parish and the Universal Church. The Parish faith community participates in the mission by worshiping together, creating and nurturing our community, working on ways to develop our faith, and developing ways to serve those in need.
This committee consists of parishioners from combined from all four parishes. Our general function as a Pastoral Council is to advise the Pastor in pastoral matters presented by the Pastor, himself. Other functions that may be carried out include:
- Informing the Pastor of the needs and concerns of the Parish and its members.
- Developing and reviewing our mission statement.
- Developing a Parish plan.
- Recommending policies, procedures, and programs that would assist in implementing the mission statement and the Parish pastoral plan.
- Reviewing and evaluating the effectiveness of existing programs.
