Pastoral Council serves as the primary consultative voice of the members of the Family of Parishes, particularly in the pastoral planning process envisioned in Beacons of Light, the process of unifying multiple parishes into one canonical parish, and the discernment of appropriate stewardship of resources for the Family of Parishes. Pastoral Council will ensure that Fr. Don and his Family Leadership Team receive necessary input and feedback from parishioners at every step of the process of unifying the parishes within the Family.
