Pastoral Advisory Council Deliberating

Pastoral Council

Brief Overview

The Pastoral Council is seen as a structure of consultation and consensus.  It is a planning council not a coordinating council, it is where cooperative planning occurs.  The Council is a consultative-planning body, developing the mission of the parish church with the pastor.

The consultation of the Council is very important in the decision-making modus operandi, but the Council is not the decision making body.
