Pastoral Council

"The Pastoral Council provides pastoral planning for the faith community it serves. Through extensive prayer, listening and learning the council assists the pastor in identifying and assessing the gifts and needs of the faith community; to clarify the parish’s mission; and to develop and initiate pastoral plans to serve this mission for the Kingdom of God."

Finance Council

"In each parish there is to be a council for financial affairs which, in addition to universal church law, is regulated by norms established by the diocese. The Finance Council shall offer its technical and administrative skills in fiscal matters to advise and assist the pastor and whomsoever he should designate in the administration of parish goods. The Finance Council seeks to provide stewardship for the pastoral plan or mission articulated by the Pastor and the Pastoral Council."
