Role of the Pastoral Council  1.      The Pastoral Council’s role is to collaborate with the pastor, the associate pastors, and the pastoral ministers.  2.      The Pastoral Council is an envisioning body.  3.      The Pastoral Council does not manage the day-to-day activities of the parish, but engages in ongoing long range pastoral planning.  4.      The Pastoral Council members serve as a channel of consultation for the pastor by engaging in ongoing dialogue concerning the needs, feelings, hopes, and reactions of the parishioners.  5.      Pastoral planning begins with and is sustained by a process of discernment and assessment.  The pastor and the Pastoral Council members, through prayer, study, and listening, begin to identify and prioritize the ways in which the parish is being called to live out its specific mission.  6.      The Pastoral Council’s responsibility for parish planning is to provide the pastor with information and advice.  Council members should seek to know the people of the parish in order to fulfill this responsibility conscientiously.
