The following quotes are from a document entitled "The Parish Pastoral
Council", published by the Canadian Conference of Bishops:
"The Parish Pastoral Council is an institution that brings together
lay people and religious who, together with their pastors, work jointly
to build the parish as a living Christian community. Thus, Parish Council
members care about parish life in other communities of the Diocese,
share in the concerns of the Church universal, and strive to bring the
Gospel message to all people and places in their neighbourhood.
Through reflection, planning, animation and action, the Parish Pastoral
Council is the place where those ministries or services are brough forth
that are needed for the growth of a living parish community. Thus, the
Pastoral Council must carefully consider the needs of the faithful and
search within the community for the means that will adequately respond
to these needs."
The Parish Council meets on the 3rd Wednesday every two or three month
at 6:30 pm (dates to be announced in the Parish Bulletin). All Parishioners
are encouraged to attend to see where their talents may be of use.
