Pastoral Council

The Pastoral Council is the principal planning body for St. John Neumann. Its 12 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

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 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 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.

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 very manageable.

Parishioners with financial, legal, construction, general business, or fundraising experience are encouraged to make their interests known to our pastor.
