Pastoral Council

The role of the Parish Pastoral Council is, through ongoing pastoral planning, to maintain the integrity of the parish mission and the goals and objectives related to it. Together with the Pastor, the Pastoral Council envisions, addresses and evaluates the needs and goals of the parish community in light of Church teaching. This process begins with and is sustained by a process of discernment and assessment. Through prayer, study and listening, the pastor and council begin to identify and prioritize the ways in which the parish is being called to live out its specific mission.

While listening to parishioners is a year round effort, every so often the council provides a more formal opportunity for parishioners to share their vision of how this parish can better manifest it's "Call to be Church" in the Holbrook community. Check the Sunday bulletin or this space for notification of our next event.
