The Cathedral of Saint Patrick Parish Council
Mission of The Parish Council Members of the pastoral council are to collaborate with the pastor in the building up of the Church and its sanctification. They are called to serve the faithful and those who have not heard the Gospel message. They are called to be servants of Christ and each other. They are called to do nothing less than help build Christ’s kingdom on earth. The following are the current parish council members.
In his Apostolic Exhortation, Christifideles Laici, Pope John Paul II identified and encouraged the formation of pastoral councils: "The participation of the lay faithful in these Councils can broaden resources in consultation and the principle of collaboration - and in certain instances also in decision-making - if applied in a broad and determined manner." (Cf. Pope John Paul II, Apostolic Exhortation, Christifideles Laici, n. 25.5)
