Our Councils

We are genuinely grateful to the many talented and dedicated volunteers who serve in parish leadership roles. Working in partnership with our pastor, parochial vicar, parish administrator, school principal and other staff members, these volunteers ensure that the financial, physical, social and spiritual needs of our parish are met.
