9) What has the Parish
Council been doing?
The Parish Council acts
as an advisory body (to the Pastor and staff) and decision making body
(with the Pastor and staff) for the Parish's various ministries such as
Liturgy (e.g. Music, Special Seasons, etc.), Faith Formation (e.g. RCIA, Children are Special masses, MOMs group. etc.), Social Concerns (e.g. visiting
the sick, sorting food, etc.) and business affairs (e.g. finances, campus
buildings, etc).
Parish Council members
are required to attend a monthly meeting in which various topics
concerning Parish life, activities, business affairs, etc. will be
discussed, debated and decided upon. In addition Parish Council members
may become involved with some of the various Parish committees (Liturgy,
Youth Ministry, Finance, Buildings & Grounds, etc) and keep the
Parish Council informed as to the activities of these committees.
The goal is to have from 14 - 16 parishioners on the Council (this total
doesn't include "ex-officio" members). The Parish Council wishes to have two (2)
youth members (at least 16 years of age) among the 14-16 members. See below for
the current list of members.
Once a month in the School Board Room from September through June, a
picnic/barbecue meeting in July and no meeting in August.
A typical meeting is 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Between the meetings there may be some
follow up work to be done, typically a couple of phone calls or e mails seeking
information or making people aware of an activity.
You may speak with Fr. Boccaccio, (Parish office 847-4549) or contact
Richard Dominick, present Parish Council Chair at 203-849-0781 or at
rjtheacman@optonline.net
No, just a desire to offer your TIME and TALENT to your parish.
Parish Council terms are for two years. If you wish, you may serve two
consecutive two year terms.
