Parish Council - working together with the pastor to promote the spiritual  welfare of all persons within the parish in the spirit of, and in accordance with, the directions of Vatican Council II.  The Council is concerned with the total needs of our parish as a community dedicated to the worship of God and the service of all its members to sanctify their souls and the souls of others through the practice of a fully Christian life.  It communicates the actions that it has taken to the parish and listens to members of the parish in order to best serve their needs.  Although the needs of our religious community may be variously divided and defined, broad areas of concern to which the parish should give attention are: worship, religious education, spiritual works of mercy, social concerns and stewardship.
