Parish Council

The parish council is a consultative group that is charged with representing parish needs, prayerfully discerning parish priorities, and serving as an intermediary between the parish members and parish leaders by providing guidance and feedback. Additionally, the parish council serves as a sounding board for parish leadership by responding to leadership inquiries and helping to guide implementation of the strategic priorities of the parish. While the parish council provides input and feedback, the parish leadership and staff own the operational execution of the strategic priorities, with overall authority retained by the pastor.

The primary functions of the council are to annually pray and discern the needs of the parish and determine how to address them in a general way, to help assess how each commission is achieving each of the four pillars of our mission and our strategic priorities, to re-evaluate the priorities and re-form them annually with the Pastor, and to assist with long range planning.

If you are interested in joining the parish council, please complete an application and turn into the parish office. Contact the parish office at 952-934-9106 with any questions.
