The Parish Council is the policy forming body for the parish and the pastor’s primary advisory group. Among its areas of responsibility and accountability are the spiritual, financial, and educational concerns of St. Mary Parish.

The Council is responsible for guiding and determining the direction and decision-making of the parish. Members provide leadership and planning based on the mission of the church and parish. The council consists of 12 members elected from the parish at large and other ex-officio members. The latter includes the priests, pastoral associate, two trustees, and a youth representative.

Parishioners make a 2 year commitment when they are discerned on to council and have an annual option to extend that commitment for up to an additional four years, for a total of six years.

This is your parish, and we, your parish council representatives. We hope that this directory helps put names to faces and also facilitates communication between you and the parish.
