The Pastoral Council is a consultative body to the pastor of the parish. The Pastoral Council is an instrument of common counsel for the definition of parish goals. The Pastoral Council aids the pastor in determination of parish policies, and execution of programs in all matters pertaining to the spiritual, and, to some degree, temporal affairs of the parish. It provides a forum for the exchange of ideas between committee chairpersons and the parishioners. Under the direction of the Pastor, who represents the Bishop, it encourages, coordinates, unifies, and leads the whole parish community in making the Gospel known.
