What is Parish Council? The Parish Pastoral Council consists of twelve elected parish members who serve for a two-year term in addition to the School Principal, the Pastoral Associate, the Pastor and other members that may be appointed by the Pastor. Elections are conducted each Spring when half of the members are elected to serve a two-year term.  This helps maintain experienced council members to continue coverage of the Council's duties.
