PARISH MINISTRIES:
Please review OLM Calendar for events related to our ministries.
Parish Council -- Members: R Simmons, G Maloney, N White, S Peavey, T Hill
The parish pastoral council is the thinking, planning, reflection group for the parish; the commissions are the doers - the ones who actually make the plans happen.
Each commission has its own particular purpose and area of responsibility in the over-all parish set-up. There are times when two or more commissions will need to work cooperatively in some program or activity and it is the responsibility of the pastoral council to see that such coordination happens.
Existing organizations relate to the pastoral council through the appropriate commissions. Any number of special organizations or committees may exist under the commissions. Smaller parishes may combine functions. Commissions may appoint non-council members to needed committees in their responsibility areas.
Commissions must be involved with the pastoral council in planning for the parish, since it is the responsibility of the commissions to carry-out the plans.
