The Parish Pastoral Council: This is the major consultative advisory group whose function is that of liaison between the Parishioners and the Pastoral Staff. It has several standing committees made up of some who are council members and some who are not. These are: Buildings and Grounds, Education, Liturgy, Parish Life, Social Action. The Finance Council, while not an official committee of the Parish Pastoral Council, works closely with it and is included in its deliberations and projects.
Bereavement Committee: Our Bereavement Committee seeks to help our parishioners at the time of a funeral of a loved one, by providing a lunch for those attend the funeral in our church. There is no charge for this, but a donation is welcome.
And much more: There are a host of other groups that gather to meet and work at building up our community. All ages and interest groups are invited to contribute their time, talent and treasure for the good of our parish.
