Parish Pastoral Council Needs You
In this Easter Season, the beginning of new life, it is time once again to bring new life and new ideas into the Parish
Pastoral Council (PPC). This year, we will be filling 5 vacant positions.
The PPC assists the pastoral work of the parish. They act as consulters, facilitators, and leaders of
the parish. The PPC also sets the groundwork for the future of the parish by assisting and identifying the spiritual,
pastoral, and physical needs of the parish.
The Council meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month from September to June. The term for a member is only 2 years.
This means the commitment is for 20 meetings in 2 years.
If you may be interested, or know someone that you think would be a good leader for the parish and represent the
majority of the parish, please fill out the following and return it to the parish office.
