A. Parish Council
- Common prayer shall be an underlying principle of the Parish Council; acknowledging that without our Lord, we can do nothing, but with Him all things are possible.
- Collaboration- all members, lay and ordained work as a team to promote common goals for the benefit of the parish and the mission of the community commanded by our Lord.
- Synodality- A synodal culture is expected; with openness to listen and to do so with empathy without biases and judgment; respecting each person’s point of view. To promote a synodal culture in the parish community.
- All members, laity and pastors can suggest topics for discussions, while respecting the pastor’s rights (in light of his office) to veto while explaining his reasons for overriding the council.
- The Parish Council will have the latitude to create a vision and plan for the parish in the years in the years to come. This includes the opportunity to establish financial priorities for the parish.
B. Proposed Goals
- Facilitate a sense of unity and common cause between parish members; and with the pastor.
- To listen to the people of the parish, their needs, hopes and desires and relay them to the council and pastor.
- Create a sense of ownership by the people and a stake in its future. Guide community members to a deeper sense of what it means to be a part of the Body of Christ and the mission He has assigned to all His people.
- Create a plan for pastoral ministry in the parish; beginning with efforts to promote more active participation in the Mass by all the baptized.
- Create a plan to become a more welcoming parish, and to be known as one to all who live in our designated community, and beyond.
