Parish Council Nominations

Parishioners are invited to nominate candidates to serve on the Parish Council.


Per section 3(d) of the Diocesan Statues for Parish Pastoral Councils, "the total membership of the parish pastoral council should consist approximately of one-third ex-officio members, one-third appointed, and one-third elected." While our council has ex-officio and appointed members, we currently do not have any elected members. As such, we are inviting nominations for three new members to join our parish council.


You are encouraged to nominate yourself and/or other parishioners for consideration.

Please submit your nomination form by Friday, June 13th.
