Parish Pastoral Council
The Parish Pastoral Council is the principal planning body for St. John Neumann. Its twelve members, who serve three-year terms, function as advisers to our pastor on all aspects of parish life. The Council meets monthly to develop long-range goals, to monitor progress in meeting the parish’s mission, and to seek ways to deepen the faith life of the parish community. All registered adult parishioners are encouraged to consider serving as a Pastoral Council member. Contact the council at sjn.pc@saintjn.org.
Call for Nominations
The Parish Pastoral Council’s focus is on engaging in the life of the parish through worship, community activities, and volunteer service. An important role of a Parish Pastoral Council member is to ensure that the voices of parishioners are heard and considered. Being a member of the Council enhances both your knowledge of the parish and your parish life experience. Parish Pastoral Council members serve three-year rolling terms, so there are always experienced members on the Council to orient new members. The Council meets monthly from September through June, making the annual commitment completely manageable.
Are you interested in becoming more involved in parish life at St. John Neumann? Perhaps you would like to help put our next Pastoral Plan into action or have ideas on how we can continue to grow as a faith-filled community? The next call for nominations will be in the spring of 2025. Please watch the bulletin for an announcement.
