The Parish Council is a representative body composed of men and women from many areas of Parish life; liturgy, Catholic school education, religious education, parish organizations, service ministry, and others. It's primary role is to serve as an advisory board to the Pastor in matters that insure implementation of the Parish mission. Through prayer, discernment, and guidance from the Holy Spirit, the St Joseph Parish Pastoral Council will serve to assist the Pastor in fostering full participation of the entire parish in the Pastoral life and mission of the Parish and of the Universal Church.
