Parish Pastoral Council Self-Nomination

What is the Pastoral Council?
The Pastoral Council serves the pastor in an advisory role. The mission of the council is to articulate our parish’s vision and to develop a broad strategy for bringing that vision to life. The council does not concern itself with day-to-day operations or the administration of the temporal/financial goods of the parish. These belong to the parish staff, volunteers, and the Finance Council.

Who can be a member?
Council members are appointed by the pastor at the recommendation of the current Pastoral Council. Ordinarily, members serve for at least a three-year term. To be considered for membership on the Pastoral Council, one must:(1) be a member of St. Charles, (2) have received Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, (3) be living in harmony with the Church’s faith, and (4) have participated in the Quo Vadis Parish Retreat.
