Parish Pastoral Council

St. Agnes Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) is a consultative body which is committed to the mission of the Parish through discernment, advice and pastoral support.

It is a leadership community rooted in prayer, open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, committed to patient listening and study, and working to recommend the plans and directions that will enable the parish to respond most fully to what Jesus asks of us. It rests on the tripod of prayer, study and action.

The PPC organizes its activities through short-term and long-term goals which emerge from community concerns and pastoral needs. As new challenges arise, flexibility and discernment are needed to evaluate and revise goals and performance.

The Pastoral Council is a consultative body which makes recommendations to our pastor. It does not deal with acts of administration. Its purpose is to promote the spiritual growth of the parish community and to plan ways for the parish to carry out the mission of the Church.

Pastoral Council members are elected through open consultation among the parish community and serve a three-year term, beginning and ending on June 1st.
