Guiding Our Parish Journey:
The Pastoral Council

At St. Vincent de Paul Parish, the Pastoral Council is composed of a committed group of parishioners, each contributing their unique experiences. They offer guidance to the pastor, ensuring the realization of Jesus Christ's mission within our community.

The council is not a legislative entity but an advisory group. Tasked with prayerfully identifying the needs of the parish, establishing pastoral priorities, and encouraging full participation in Christ's mission, their role is crucial. Their function sets them apart from any other ministry or organization in the parish.

Fundamentally, the Pastoral Council transitions from managing activities to defining vision, from deciding on issues to fostering consensus, and from following parliamentary procedures to engaging in thoughtful prayer. When you meet these discerning stewards, understand that they are intricately crafting the tapestry of our spiritual journey—one prayer at a time.
