Pastoral Council

The Parish Council plays a vital role in the spiritual and administrative well-being of St. Patrick’s Parish. The role of the Parish Council is to be the main consultative body for the pastor regarding all matters of parish life, especially the life of worship and the apostolate. The chair of the Parish Council is appointed by the bishop upon the recommendation of the pastor and the other members are appointed by the pastor usually at the recommendation of other members of the Council. Each member is appointed for a three-year term which can be renewed for a second term.
