About the St. Mary Parish Pastoral Council

Members of the St. Mary Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) are called forth from the parish through a discernment process to be "Keepers of the Vision" for St. Mary Church. The PPC's role is to hold the values of our mission ever present as it seeks to:

• Formulate policies that set a vision for parish life;
• Plan and set goals/objectives that respond to the needs and operations of the parish;
• Challenge St. Mary to become a community of faith and service in keeping with our Mission Statement;
• Build a sense of community in the parish by providing an open forum for free discussion of pastoral matters in order to achieve consensus;
• Act in concert with the Diocesan Pastoral Council, the Bishop, and our fellow parisioners in supporting positive action for the common good of the Catholic Church.
