Parish Leadership
Both the Pastoral and Finance councils are groups of parishioners that are elected and trained as leaders that are dedicated to our parish. If you have an interest in either of these two councils you Contact Us for more information.
Pastoral Council
The Pastoral Council serves as the primary representative and consultative voice of the parishioners of St. Mary Parish in dialogue and cooperation with the pastor and staff of the parish to promote a vibrant and faith-filled parish life. St. Mary parishioners elect members to serve on the council for a three-year term. There will be monthly meetings and council members are expected to serve on another committee as the council liaison.
