Developing a Vibrant Pastoral Life—A Council Update

Our pastoral council has been “restructured” so that it might better serve our parish. As an advisory body to the pastor, it is our hope that the changes described below will help:

• the pastor in providing leadership and vision for the parish;
• strengthen our life of prayer and service; and
• serve as a resource to ministries, groups, and organizations

Parish organizations and ministries have been grouped into six categories. Each category has been assigned a council member to serve as its representative on the council. We hope that organization leaders and members will welcome and work throughout the year with their council representatives by sharing their concerns, questions, and ideas that will be presented at council meetings. We hope this new structure will help foster a more vibrant parish life.

Fr. Pierre Joseph has oversight of the parish’s Haitian Ministry.
