Parish Committees
Pastoral Council - The Pastoral Council consists of nine elected members of the parish who serve three year terms. Each year, the terms of three members expire and new elections are held.  All registered parishioners 18 and older are encouraged to vote. New members are installed in July. The group brings ideas of fellow parishioners to the pastor during monthly meetings; discusses issues that the pastor brings to them; and coordinates initiatives as requested by the pastor. A summary of major topics will be published in the Sunday bulletin.

Finance Council - The Finance Council is comprised of parishioners appointed by the pastor after nominations are received from parishioners. The Committee assists the pastor in the responsible planning and administration of all parish financial matters and to set parish financial policies and procedures. Specific duties include reviewing the parish accounting function; establishing and maintaining internal controls; preparation and monitoring of the parish budget; preparing quarterly and annual financial reports; assisting with parish stewardship, cash management, and related duties. Skills required include business, accounting, or financial background.

Facilities Committee - The Facilities Committee consists of parishioners with expertise in some area of architecture, engineering, or construction. This group provides professional advice and suggestions to the pastor relative to building renovation and major repairs of parish property. The Committee meets every four to eight weeks. An understanding of architecture, engineering and construction is a benefit, but not necessary for membership. Volunteers should have an interest in developing the parish campus.

Strategic Planning Committee -  This organization's mission is to ascertain the direction of our parish, plan our objectives to reach these goals, and identify needs to accomplish these objectives.  This committee is in direct communication with the Pastoral Council, the Finance Council, and the Facilities Committee which all serve as advisory counsels to the pastor.  Like the Pastoral Council, its spectrum encompasses the sacramental, spiritual, physical, and financial areas of our parish and community.  Balancing current assets and parish information with foreseen needs and desires, this committee communicates to the Pastoral Council who then makes recommendations to the pastor to make decisions on the growth of our parish.
