Parish Council - St Mary Catholic Church

Parish Council

Parish Council advises the pastor in planning and determination of policies for the fulfillment of the goals in the Parish Mission Statement. The Council deals with current matters, such as the operating budget and future plans, such as renovation of our campus. It’s sixteen members consist of the Parish priests, two trustees and twelve parishioners who reflect both the unity and diversity of the parish. Each member brings to the table their own individual wisdom and experience, but they represent the entire parish, not just one segment of it. They are to provide leadership and vision; to do what is best for the parish as a whole. Members serve a three year term. The Council meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 7pm in the Parish Center. Parish members are always invited to attend meetings. Each spring, the parish submits the names of candidates nominated by parishioners (themselves or others); through prayer and discernment, new members are chosen. Nominees are asked to attend at least one Parish Council meeting and the Archdiocesan orientation prior to discernment in May.
