Pastoral Council

The Pastoral Council is a consultative body to the Pastor on all matters of parish life, especially matters of great importance.  In response to Christ's call to serve, the Council represents the parish family, identifies the needs of the parish members as well as the larger community, discerns the voice of the Holy Spirit, and prayerfully develops goals, objectives, plans, and strategies which the parish and its ministries can pursue.

The current Pastoral Council Members are:

• Jim Demer - Chair and Community Building
• Martin Butler - Liturgical Ministries
• Sandra Castillo - Spanish Community
• Maribel Markines - Filipino Community
• Elena Mast - Mercy Ministries
• Alex Phillips - Community Serving Ministries
• Alex Pinskoski - Brazilian Community
• Claudia Vitale - Youth Representative
