Pastor's Advisory Council
The primary purpose of the PAC is to serve as a consultative body to the Pastor.
The focus of the Council is on the pastoral needs of the Parish. The PAC enables the
laity of the parish to share in the responsibility of doing Christ's work in a visible way.
Members are discerned through prayer and reflection.

Finance Council
The primary purpose of the Finance Council is to assist and support the Pastor in his stewardship of
parish resources
and to assure accountability to the diocese and to the parishioners.
Members are discerned through prayer and reflection.

School Board

The primary purpose of the School Board is to serve as an Advisory Board to the Pastor
and Principal in developing objectives for the School. School Board Members believe in and
support the mission of Catholic Education.
Members serve 3 year terms and are elected by the Parish Community.
Elections are held on Palm Sunday weekend.

Youth Board

The Youth Program is directed by a Board that is made up of a Moderator appointed by the Pastor,
the Athletic Director, and members who are invited because of special skills or tasks they perform.
