The Parish Pastoral Council is at the hub of all parish activities. The Council is composed of the Pastor and at least six members. Elections are held annually or as required. Each member is assigned a portfolio that includes Liturgy, Christian Education, Parish and Community Life, Social Action, as well as autonomous organizations such as the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Women's League. At the monthly meetings (September through June) members report on the work being done in each of their portfolios. The Council acts as a sounding board for the Pastor, discussing new proposals, making decisions and providing guidelines as required.
