Be The Light
The pastor of St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish, in communion with the clergy and laity of the parish and under the authority of the Bishop of the Diocese of Colorado Springs share in the mission of the church; to proclaim the kingdom of God and to build up the body of Christ.
The pastoral council of St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish will be a place for mutual, open reflection and dialogue between the pastor, his clergy, and the religious and laity of the parish, in order that the pastoral welfare of the people of God may be promoted through the parish as effectively as possible (cf.Canons 529,536).
We serve our fellow parishioners by helping the clergy institute processes and programs that lead people to discipleship through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ our Savior.
Parish Finance Councils assist the pastor in the administration of parish temporal matters. These guidelines are designed to aid Pastors and Finance Council members in the effective functioning of a Parish Finance Council by supporting the pastor in his stewardship of parish resources while being accountable to the parish and the diocesan bishop. An active, well-formed Parish Finance Council is a key element for promoting the financial health of a parish, assuring accountability, and assisting the pastor with his temporal responsibilities.
