Pastoral Council

Purpose:

To assist the apostolic work and pastoral care of the parish. And, through the Stewardship Committee, to assist with the secular and/or temporal work of the parish.

Mission:

As participators in the function of Christ, priest, prophet and king, the laity have an active part of their own in the life and action of the Church. Their action with the Church communities is so necessary that without it the apostolate of the pastors will frequently be unable to attain its full effect.

The parish offers an outstanding example of community apostolate, for it gathers into a unity of all the human diversities that are found there and inserts them into the universality of the Church. The laity should develop the habit of working in the parish in close union with their priests, of bringing before the ecclesial community their own problems, world's problems, and questions regarding man's salvation, to examine them together and solve them by general discussion. According to their abilities the laity ought to cooperate in all the apostolic and missionary enterprises of their ecclesial family.

Stewardship Committee

Mission:

Educating the parishioners of their responsibilities in the support of the Church, its apostolate and its ministers;
Formulating and executing fund-raising programs;
Oversight of the maintenance and development of parish properties;
Oversight of the management of parish funds;
Care of immigrants and economically disadvantaged persons.

As its name implies, the Stewardship Committee is to be concerned with the acquisition, administration, and alienation of the temporal goods of the parish. As such, members chosen for this committee should exhibit some expertise in the field of finance.

It is the competency of the Stewardship Committee to advise and cooperate with the pastor and Parish Pastoral Council in matters related to the properties and finances of the Parish. As such, the Stewardship Committee serves as a permanent structure for constructive dialogue among the clergy, religious and laity.
