Parish Council
The Archdiocesan Guidelines describe the Parish Council's purpose: "to assist the pastor in his leadership role of planning, organizing, initiating, promoting, coordinating and reviewing the evangelization, worship, religious education and service activities within the parish." Parish Pastoral Council members have four year terms, are nominated by any parishioner(s), and are chosen from among all nominations after a process of prayerful discernment and a general election. 50% of the Council undergoes the election process every two years.
The principle intent of the Council is to represent the concerns and needs of all parishioners. Please feel free to address the Council with questions and/or concerns so that the Council will have a better understanding of the needs of the Parish. Parishioners are indeed welcome and encouraged to share thoughts and ideas about Holy Family with the Council; please talk individually with Council members and/or email the Parish Office with the subject heading, "For Discussion at the Parish Council Meeting"; such will then be discussed accordingly; meetings are held regularly throughout the year and are posted on the Parish Calendar.

Lord Jesus Christ, Who, being made subject to Mary and Joseph, didst consecrate domestic life by Thine ineffable virtues; grant that we, with the assistance of both, may be taught by the example of Thy Holy Family and may attain to its everlasting fellowship. Who livest and reignest forever.
Domine Iesu Christe, qui Mariae et Ioseph subditus, domesticam vitam ineffabilibus virtutibus consecrasti: fac nos, utriusque auxilio, Familiae sanctae tuae exemplis instrui et consortium consequi sempiternum: Qui vivis et regnas in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
