The Pastoral Council is primarily a visioning and planning body along with the Pastor, parish staff and key lay leaders to determine the current needs of the parishioners and continue to welcome, listen and reach out to all with the Good News of Jesus Christ. It is to provide leadership, counsel, resources and encouragement and assistance to the spiritual development and understanding of the call by Christ to all parishioners to be missionary disciples, walking together as a synodal Church in mission. The Pastoral Council works to further the mission of the parish and the archdiocese as it lives out the mission of Jesus.
