Pastoral Council

A Parish Council—or now called a Pastoral Council—is a formal advisory council that assists the Pastor in making decisions regarding the life and direction of the parish. While all authority and decisions rest with the Pastor, Councils provide advisory wisdom in the direction. Councils are formed, and their members are appointed or removed, by the current Pastor of a parish. Once formed, and in subsequent years, up to two-thirds of the members may be elected. If approved, eligible candidates will be vetted by the Pastor and voted on.

The current Pastoral Council members are:

• Atziry Piña
• Joyce Jones
• John Fleming
• Roberto López
• Doug Schlaefli
• Edgar Cerda
• Mark Goebel
• Natalie Jordan
