The Pastoral Council consist of representatives of our parish who through prayer, study and discernment provide advice to the pastor. Additionally, the council promotes parish life and encourages the congregation to become involved in the parish community. 

The pastoral council is a collaborative ministry between laity and religious founded on the belief that all baptized persons are gifted and called to the mission of Jesus Christ. Those who participate in collaborative ministry recognize and believe in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Meetings are held in April and new members are selected by the Pastoral Council, through discernment, in June. Each term is for three years. Self-nominations are always accepted. Any parishioner may attend meetings, although they cannot vote on issues before the council. 

For more information or if you would like to present an issue or concern to the council, please contact Nancy Eckerson, chair, at 505.839.0275.
