Parish Pastoral Council

The Parish Pastoral Council is an instrument through which a representative body of the People of God, that is Mary, Queen of Peace Parish, in a relationship of shared responsibility with the Pastor, enables the parish to work together as a community of faith in deeds and prayer.

The Parish Pastoral Council strives to fulfill its purpose by:

• Prayerfully discerning the needs of the parish community;
• Serving as a vehicle for constructive dialogue with the parish community;
• Serving as a consultative body to the Pastor;
• Collaborating with the Pastor to formulate policies concerning the parish and pastoral matters consistent with faith and morals, civil and Church law, and Archdiocesan policy;
• Identifying and calling forth the gifts and talents of the members of the parish community;
• Developing and maintaining a mission statement which embraces the total life and mission of the parish;
• Establishing clear and concise goals and objectives based on the parish mission statement and emerging needs of the parish community;
• Cooperating with and effectively implementing Archdiocesan policies and directives; and
• Coordinating, encouraging, and promoting every apostolic activity within the parish community.
