Parish Pastoral Council exercises shared responsibility for the pastoral life of the parish under the leadership of the Pastor. The council's purpose is to facilitate the communication, coordination and planning required to achieve the pastoral mission of the church.
Pastoral Council is a Consultative and Planning Ministry that is called to:
To investigate the pastoral reality.
To study or reflect on what has been learned.
To recommend sound conclusions.
*It is not a council to implement or direct or oversee other Ministries.
The goal is to give Wisdom of what is good for the community and the ability to discern what the community needs and wants. They must affirm what's practically wise and present this information to the Pastor.
