Pastoral Council

What is the Pastoral Council?
The St. Agnes Church Pastoral Council is comprised of parishioners and serves as a liaison between the Pastor and parish staff and the parish body with the primary focus of crafting a vision for the future of our parish community. Terms are for three years. The Pastoral Council meets four times a year on Saturday mornings - January, April, July and November. Members of the parish Team serve as ex-officio members.
To serve on the Council, you must be a parishioner in good standing, at least 16 years of age, and a practicing Catholic who lives according to the teachings of the Church. 

Qualities desired in members include a willingness to represent all parishioners, someone who is pastorally sensitive to the needs of the community, and someone who is willing to "think outside the box" to creatively address the needs of evangelization in the 21st century.
