Parish council
The parish pastoral council is a consultative body to the pastor. Through pastoral planning, the pastoral council assists the pastor in:
- Developing and living out of the mission of the parish;
- Forming community as a sign and witness of unity for the larger parish community;
- Providing recommendations for parish priorities, directions, and policies; and
- Promoting communication and understanding among parish organizations and between the parish, the Archdiocese, and the universal Church.
( CIC, c. 536)

The Parish Pastoral Council is looking for new members to join our great group. The requirements to be considered for membership are:
- Baptized and confirmed Roman Catholics in good standing with the church Registered and supporting members of the parish
- Grounded in and committed to an understanding of the church in accord with the principles of Vatican II
- Committed to prayer, study, listening, and dialogue
- Committed to stewardship of time, talent and treasure
- Not currently employed by the parish or parish school or a close relative or in-law of or living in the same household as a parish or school employee
- Not simultaneously a member of the parish finance council
The council is currently meeting once every month on Wednesday nights. Membership is a three-year commitment. Please contact the Pastor if interested or to recommend someone. Thank you!
finance council

According to the Code of Canon Law, each parish must have a finance council (CIC, c. 537). The parish finance council is composed of Catholic faithful who offer advice to the pastor in the administration of the parish's temporal goods.
LITURGICAL COUNCIL

The Liturgy Council assists the Pastor in achieving the goal of full, conscious, and active participation of the people at the Eucharist, as stated in the Constitution of Sacred Liturgy (SC, 14). They advise and support the Pastor on the spirituality and prayer life of the parish community. (CLPM 26)
maintenance committee

The Maintenance Committee assists the Pastor and staff in maintaining the facilities of our parish. The Maintenance Committee plays an important part in the life of the parish in their "hands on" work of the upkeep of all facilities and grounds.
