What does a Parish Pastoral Council do?
The Pastoral Council, a consultative body, provides structure whereby the laity, religious and clergy work together to collaboratively promote the Reign of God and build up the Body of Christ. The pastor consults with the council for recommendations on how the parish can be faithful to living out the mission of the Church. He consults the council when he needs the practical wisdom of the members before making a decision that will affect the parish. The Pastoral Council plans the events that take place within the parish in collaboration and cooperation with the parish staff, groups, committees and parishioners. As the pastor consults with the Council, likewise the Council is called to consult with other parish leaders and parishioners in its planning processes. The Council is rooted in prayer, open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and committed to patient listening and study with the goal of recommending the plans and direction which will enhance the quality of the parish life and promote parish vitality.
Who are members of the Parish Pastoral Council?
The Council needs to include people of varying opinions and ideas. All members must be active registered parishioners and committed to fostering the life and mission of the Church; promoting the good of the whole parish.
