Parish Pastoral Council

Membership

The Parish Council meets on the second Thursday of every month rain or shine to engage in spirited discussion on the mission of SVF. As a council we are the eyes and ears of the parish and as such we take what we hear each week in the pews and other councils and committees to the pastor. This is our research and our council exists to foster the ideas and hopes of parishioners; to support existing ministries; and to plan for the parish's future by recommending policies, procedures, and programs that will fulfill the greater Church's mission.

2007 saw our council implement the recommendations from the extensive parish survey conducted the prior year. In 2008 we will work to help form a welcoming committee-something missing for several years. Our council is chiefly responsible for the parish picnic this year which has been moved forward in the calendar to September 21 st. We will continue to liaise with our twinning parish, St. Plus V and the Deanery committee.

Including the pastor the council has fifteen members all of which serve a three (3) year term. Every year three members fulfill their obligation and need to be replaced in June. This is your opportunity to become involved in this dynamic and important council that has its finger on the pulse of the entire parish. Contact us at: parishcouncil@svfparish.org
