The parish Pastoral Council is a consultative body to the pastor. The purpose of the Pastoral Council is to examine, consider, and draw conclusions concerning matters under discussion in order to recommend a course of action to the pastor. Through pastoral planning, the Pastoral Council assists the pastor in the following ways:
- Developing and living out the mission of the parish
- Forming community as a sign and witness of unity for the larger parish community
- Providing recommendations for parish priorities, directions, and policies
- Promoting communication and understanding among parish organizations and between the parish, the archdiocese, and the universal Church
