Vatican II gave a big push and support to the establishment of parish pastoral councils. The bishops said that "pastors should promote the dignity and responsibility of the laity in the church." Our Pastoral Council serves as a consultative committee to the pastor. As a group, the Council is prayerful, pastoral, representative, discerning, prophetic, empowering and collaborative. Members are committed to helping all ministries receive the help and support needed to meet the goals that will best serve our community. The pastor appoints members as necessary.

The Parish Finance Committee assists the pastor in overseeing the parish finances and the management of parish resources. Members periodically review the parish income and expenditures to determine whether the parish is operating within the approved budget and to provide parishioners with periodic financial reports. The council also studies the revenue and makes recommendations to the parish for maintaining or increasing the revenues to meet parish objectives and priorities.
