Ministry Fair
The Ministry Fair is rapidly approaching and we are requesting/inviting parishioners to determine their ability to participate as the hands and feet of Christ for his Church, OUR Parish. We are in great need in many of our ministries. We're thankful to have so many new parishioners and we'd like to know you better and have you know us. A great way to do this is to participate in all aspects of our community. I'm sure there is a ministry that will match your talents and time.

Mission of the Parish Pastoral Council
The purpose of the council is to ensure that the parish is carrying out it’s stated mission and that the pastoral needs of all parishioners are met. It is the structure through which parish members can participate in discerning God’s vision for the parish.
The council is consultative to the Pastor rather than decision-making. It is to provide vision and direction for the parish, and establish pastoral priorities according to our vision. The responsibilities of the council include, but are not limited to:
1. Periodic evaluation of the Parish Mission Statement.
2. Calling and enabling all members of the parish to discover, develop, and offer their gifts in service to both the Parish and the wider community.
3. Determining and assessing the vision of the parish and recommending appropriate actions and programs.
4. Prioritizing parish goals and objectives in accordance with the parish vision.
5. Evaluating past and current programs.
6. Providing for the development of long range goals and short term objectives.
7. Being a visible example of love, patience, cooperation, and trust for others.
8. Providing spiritual formation and leadership skills for Pastoral Council members and various parish groups.
9. Maintaining an awareness of all parish activities and on-going communications with each committee or ministry.
10. Establishing ad hoc committees or other special ministries as needed.
11. Being accountable to the parish for the way in which it discharges it’s responsibilities.
