This is a group of 10 - 12 parishioners, selected from both parishes in our Collaborative, which adivses and assists the Pastor in planning and coordinating the direction and activities of our parishes. Each member is appointed by the pastor to a two-year term, which can be extended to a second two-year term. The Council meets monthly from September through June, addressing a number of Collaborative issues such as strategic planning, evaluation and coordination of ministries, goal setting, policy formation and parish special events. They assist the Finance Council with finances and development/ fundraising activities. This ministry is required by Vatican law to represent the laity within each parish.
