Parish Pastoral Council

The Parish Pastoral Council is the primary consultative body to the Pastor in planning and overall decision-making in all areas of parish life. As the primary visioning body of the parish, the Pastoral Council assists the pastor in:

Soliciting the wisdom of the St. Edith Parish Community on pastoral matters.
Forming a consensus about pastoral planning, which addresses the needs of the Parish.
Communicating the pastoral vision to the Parish as a whole.
Involving the parish commissions in implementing the vision.

Work of the Parish Pastoral Council

The role of the total membership of the Parish Pastoral Council is to establish Operating Procedures and write a mission statement which is a vision for the parish. It is what we are striving to accomplish on behalf of Jesus Christ. The Council also establishes Parish Goals, which flow from the mission statement and describe what the parish would like to accomplish over the next 3 to 5 years. Objectives are established that define how we reach our goals. Objectives are developed with input from each Commission. The implementation of programs and activities are carried out within each commission.

Meetings are generally held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Fireside Room.
