Parish Pastoral Council

Annual Nomination Form

St. Joseph Parish Pastoral Council promotes and supports the purpose of St. Joseph Parish as defined in the Parish Mission Statement. They are a group of women and men serving our Church by offering their collaborative talents, leadership, and advice directly to the Pastor. The Pastoral Council consists of twelve nominated members and the Pastor. All registered parishioners, age 16 and older, are eligble for nomination. Candidates are nominated from among the parish community every Spring and undergo a process of discernment with one another and current members prior to being seated on the Council.

All nominated members serve three-year terms, concluding as indicated below, and while serving on Pastoral Council seek to recognize the Holy Spirit's guidance in developing goals and priorities to meet the spiritual needs of our community. Assisting them in their work are the members of our commissions, which are detailed further through our Ministries section. As a Council, we meet the second Monday (following the 6:30pm Mass) of every other month. We publish approved meeting minutes, which are available using the right menu.
