Pastoral Council


The Pastoral Council, in conjuction with the Parish Leadership Team, established a set of goals:

Encourage faith development by engaging parishioners in spiritual growth activities

Provide opportunities to develop relationships so that people feel they belong

Establish a communication infrastructure to enable parishioners to connect with one another

Create a sense of personal ownership and responsibility for the financial vitality of the parish

Effectively deploy human resources of the parish, both staff and volunteers, to provide leadership and to enact the mission of the parish.

Develop a plan to optimize our parish facilities

During this past year the Pastoral Council has been working to implement these goals. The council meets the first Wenesday of each month. Issues of import to the Sacred Heart community should be brought to the attention of one of its members:
