The prayer for Pastoral Councils is said at the beginning of the meetings.

 

Ever living God
You gather us together
As a parish of Christ the King
To carry the Gospel of Christ to all people


Bless the members of this parish council
Let your spirit enlighten their minds
And guide all their actions
That they may be renewed in faith,
United in love,
And bring to fulfillment the work of your church
To your greater honor and glory.


We ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen

Past Accomplishments by the Pastoral Council


During the past three years the Pastoral Council has worked on strategic goals that were identified by Msgr. Hoye.  One of the ongoing outcomes from the work is a process for welcoming new parishioners through various ways such as displaying welcome posters, sending out packets and welcoming letters, encouraging new parishioners to become involved, and having receptions for new parishioners.

Another strategic goal, reaching out to non-practicing Catholics, was achieved by presenting the program, Catholics Returning Home, three times.  This is a five-week program that has been very successful. The next offering is scheduled for May 2011.

Another goal that was identified by Msgr. Hoye and the council members was getting more youth involved.  The Youth Ministry activities were enhanced when Kathy Laird was hired as a part-time ministry director.  She has created and supported a number of very successful fund raising and spiritual events.

The minutes of the January 2013 meeting will be available after they have been accepted at our next meeting on April 16, 2013.  Parishioners are invited to contact Msgr. Hoye with any item they would like brought up for discussion at the the next meeting.
