The Parish Finance Council is established, like the other Councils, in accord with particular Diocesan policy. This Council is also required by Canon Law for all Parishes and Dioceses. This Council is the primary consultative body for financial affairs to the Pastor of the Parish as all major decisions along with annual plans that affect the finances of the Parish in any way are discussed, so that recommendations can be made to the Pastor for final decision. This Council consists of four Commissions (Stewardship, Diocesan Campaign [Fruitful Harvest], Budget, Administrative Processes) that may be further responsible for Committees and/or Ministries. The discernment process is used for membership for this Council, and will also be used to make assignments to the Commissions and Offices (Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary). There may be up to twelve members who serve three-year terms.

The Parish Pastoral Council is established as the primary consultative body for the Pastor in regard to the pastoral activities of the Parish. It works along with the Pastor to create and maintain various pastoral ministries in the Parish and provide service opportunities to the greater community in which we live. Members are representative of the greater Parish family and bring parishioner’s concerns to the Council and Pastor as well as help communicate important information to parishioners from this Council. This Council consists of four Commissions (Administrative, Communication, Formation and Social Concerns) and these consist of various ministries, committees and programs. Communication back and forth is the real key to making this work. Members discern themselves onto the Council for a term of three years, and the Council has twelve positions. The discernment process is also used each year to make assignments to the Commissions and Offices (Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary).
