The Pastoral Council is to be a representative body of the faithful whose focus is on the whole community - its beliefs, its hopes, its joys, its needs, its sorrows, its concerns, its gifts and its pursuit of the mission of the Church.
The Council provides a means for uniting the parish community in expressing its collective wisdom concerning pastoral plans and activities.
By reason of its existence, the Pastoral Council must read and reflect the "signs-of-the-times" to those planning or implementing pastoral activities in the parish.
By the fact that it is convoked by the pastor, the Pastoral Council must respond to his call and questions and offer the best consultation possible.
The Pastoral Council's task is counsel and consultation. Thus, the members of this group, along with the pastor, are called to reflect and consider pastoral issues for the common good and for the future. Their role is to understand, to reflect carefully and prayerfully and to seek consensus. Although, there will be times when circumstances will prevent the Council from reaching a consensus.
