What is the Pastoral Council?

The Pastoral Council advises the Pastor on a wide range of issues including, but not limited to: developing a Pastoral Plan, providing feedback on ministry outreach, identifying the people within the parish that can effectively run particular ministries. The council acts as additional eyes, ears, and communicator of the Pastor. 
 
The mission of the Pastoral Council is to be an advisory leadership body, guided by the Holy Spirit and the Gospel, that assists the Pastor and the Parish Staff in discerning the needs of the Parish and, by recommending strategic goals and priorities, guides the Parish in fulfilling its mission as a Christian Community.
 
The Pastoral Council aims to reflect the diversity of voices in our community and its members are open to feedback, ideas, and questions.  The Council is made up with members who are engaged in one of our Parish Commissions. These Commissions are Prayer and Worship, Faith Formation, Outreach, School Advisory, and Parish Fellowship. These commissions meet about once a month and will have membership on the Pastoral Council which we hope will meet about every other month.

 
The time has come to renew the Parish Commissions and the Pastoral Council. If you are interested in helping with the mission here at St. Pius X Church, please send an email to frontdesk@stpius.org and let us know what area of ministry you may be interested in.
