Per Canon 536 §1 of the Catholic Church’s Code of Canon Law, “a pastoral council is to be established in each parish, over which the pastor presides and in which the Christian faithful, together with those who share in pastoral care by virtue of their office in the parish, assist in fostering pastoral activity.”
Here at St. Christopher’s and in accordance with Canon 536 §1, our Parish Council which is made up of a body of elected and appointed representatives, collaborates with the pastor to set priorities, advise, encourage, and implement programs affecting all aspects of parish life. Governed by the Council Constitution linked here, we hold monthly meetings on the third Thursday of each month, with a break during July and August. Minutes are taken at each meeting and are made available for review on the parish council webpage within a few days following the meeting.
