To serve as a consultative body to the Pastor leading the parish community in the discernment and the expression of its mission. The Pastoral Council is currently composed of the Pastor and members of the parish community. Members of the Pastoral Council must be members of St. John the Baptist's community.
Pastoral council members, as the chief consulters to the pastor, represent the needs of all of the people of the parish. The council reaches out to determine what are the issues that are impacting the lives of the parishioners. And then, through a process of prayer, study and dialogue, it recommends practical conclusions regarding these issues - ways in which the parish can minister to the needs of the parishioners.
