Pastoral Council
(updated 2/13/2008)

Mission Statement
Rooted in prayer and guided by the Holy Spirit, the Pastoral Council is a ministry of service. The Council draws upon the values and diverse backgrounds, talents, and cultural experiences of all God's people. Under the direction and guidance of the Pastor, and with input from the Pastoral Staff and the parish community, the Council is a forum for prayerful discernment, consultation and action. The Council promotes and encourages the spiritual growth of the parish, seeking to affect overall direction and well-being, thus furthering Christ's kingdom on earth.

The Pastoral Council consists of 12 members including Father Douglas J. Haefner, the pastor. The Council is divided into three sub committees—the planning, communications and formation subcommittees.
