Parish Council
Representing the parish community, members of council serve as a consultative body to the Pastor by:
- Actively seeking information from fellow parishioners to accurately represent the “voice” of the parish community.
- Assisting the Pastor in determining priorities, promoting spiritual growth, and implementing decisions that affect the unity and mission of the parish.
- Acting as a vehicle for dialogue and communication among the pastor, the parish staff, the various commissions and organizations, and the parish members.
- Evaluating how various proposals from parish commissions or groups promote or do not promote the mission of our parish.
- Working with other groups in the parish to recommend specific policies and programs.
Council consists of our Pastor, a permanent recording secretary (appointed by the Pastor), and 8 parishioners.
Current council members are:
Jerry Yox (Chair)
Joe Arnold
Joy Niehaus
Joanne Hauser
Ken Radziwon
