I am excited to announce that the first meeting of our Pastoral Council was very encouraging for me. We have a diversity of people from across our family of parishes. We will meet monthly to pray, discern and plan to coordinate the great work of all our parishes. We have five wonderful communities of faith with countless volunteers and ministries. As your pastor, your Pastor Council gives me the essential discernment and wisdom to coordinate and encourage all the good works of our parishes. My hope is that we can all grow in relationship with God and each other in the context of our parish community.
