The Pastor serves as the spiritual leader and executive authority of the parish, and his wisdom and leadership are essential to the parish’s overall vitality and mission. The Parish Council exists to support the Pastor by offering guidance in pastoral planning, assessing parish needs, and encouraging the growth of parish ministries.
At St. Patrick Catholic Church, Parish Council members are appointed by the Pastor and serve in a consultative role to assist with the broader administration of parish life. Council members are active parishioners who also serve as chairpersons of the parish’s established councils and committees.
Current Parish Council representation includes chairpersons from the following areas:
- Finance Council - finance@stpatricksparsons.org
- School Council - mcarson@stpatricksparsons.org
- Stewardship Council - stewardship@stpatricksparsons.org
- Communications Committee - communications@stpatricksparsons.org
- Facilities Committee - facilities@stpatricksparsons.org
- Prayer & Formation Committee - formation@stpatricksparsons.org
Each council and committee includes additional appointed parishioners who collaborate with the chairperson in carrying out their responsibilities. Meetings of the Parish Council, as well as the various councils and committees, are held at intervals throughout the year as needs arise.
