parish commissions

The structure of the Parish Pastoral Council flows from its function and its discerned areas of responsibility.  Certain responsibilities are divided among commissions, each of which addresses a specific area of parish life and mission.  Since the commissions are the working arms of the council, their vitality largely determines the effectiveness of the couoncil.

Parish Council

The Council forms with the pastor a leadership group of the parish that is broadly representative of parish membership.  Through the council the Catholic laity, along with those who share in the pastoral care of the parish in virtue of their office, give their help in fostering pastoral activity.

Finance Council

Members are appointed to aid in planning, providing for, and supervising the financial affairs and the physical properties of the parish.

Education Commission

The Education Commission has the responsibility to identify the religious educational needs of the entire parish and to formulate long-range plans for meeting those needs.

Family Life and Social Justice Commission

The work of the Family Life and Social Justice Commission is to help all the members of the parish recognize that working for community needs is as essential to the life of the parish as is preaching the Word of God and celebrating the Eucharist.

Liturgy Commission

It will be the purpose of the Liturgy Commission to monitor all parish programs and ministries that directly affect the spiritual life of the parish.

Parish Activities Commission

The Parish Activities Commission of the council has as its responsibilities the planning and coordinating of all other commissions and volunteers to enable the parish to sponsor social gatherings.
 

Stewardship Commission

The purpose of the Stewardship Commission is to assist our family of faith in understanding stewardship as a Holy Way of Life and to encourage disciples to recognize God as the origin and Source of Life and the Giver of every spiritual and material gift we possess.  "As Christian Stewards, we receive God's gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord."
