The Pastoral Council is to be a representative body of the faithful whose focus is on the whole community and its pursuit of the mission of the Church. The Council provides a means for uniting the parish community in expressing its collective wisdom concerning pastoral plans and activities. Thus, the members of this group, along with the Pastor, are called to reflect and consider pastoral issues for the common good and for the future. Their role is to understand, to reflect carefully and prayerfully, and to seek consensus.

This council needs spirit-filled committed people that are in touch with the parish community and are able to present the parishioner’s views in doing a total parish needs assessment. These representatives need the ability to do problem solving through discernment, to understand, to communicate and to reach consensus in a team atmosphere. 

Monthly meetings, every 4th Tuesday, a 2-year commitment, and other projects may be involved during the year. A rewarding and faith learning experience.

The first St. Luke Parish Pastoral Council was elected in 1975.
