Our Parish
Council was formed in 1968 in response to the directives issued by
Vatican II. Initially there were nine members, all appointed by Father
John J. Bennett.
Currently the
Council consists of appointed and elected adults and two youth representatives.
Each adult serves for three years and each youth for a minimum of
two years. The priests, deacons, and the Director of Religious Education
are ex officio members. The purpose of the Council is to act as
an advisory board to assist the pastor. It also encourages life
of the parish community and acts as liaison between the clergy and
the laity. It initiates and supports parish ministries as well other
programs of social, civic, education and moral benefit. In addition
the Council cooperates with other churches and civic organizations
in serving the community at large. Our goals continue to focus on
Involvement, Youth, Communication and Financial Resources within
our parish community.
