Parish Council Contact the Parish Council Note: Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this page to see the "minutes" from various Parish Assembly meetings! The Parish Council serves in an advisory capacity to the Pastor. This body is meant to help the Pastor lead the parish community in the discernment and expression of our parish mission. It meets on the fourth Monday of each month, with the exception of December, June and July. The Committee also holds an annual retreat, which is a day of reflection for the Committee. The Parish Council also acts as a liaison between the Pastor and the various ministries at St. Peter’s, advising the Pastor on the needs and aspirations of the ministries and on issues and obstacles the ministry may encounter in fulfilling its purpose. By its very nature, the Parish Council is involved in every aspect of parish life. The Chairpersons of the Liturgy Committee and Finance Council are ex-officio members of the Parish Council because of the importance of those functions to the fulfillment of the parish mission. The Parish Council is a reflective and planning group for the parish. Our meeting time is spent together in prayer, discussion, and discerning direction for the parish. Responsibilities of the Parish Council include: 1. Reflecting and planning for the spiritual renewal and growth of our parish in light of our Mission Statement 2. Studying articles and documents that help us grow in understanding the call to our parish as a Christian community 3. Identifying the giftedness that exists within the parish 4. Developing a prayer life as a group which is open to discern the will of God for the parish 5. Communicating with the entire parish by listening to as well as informing parishioners of the progress being made in the life of the parish 6.
