The Pastoral Council and Committees

PASTORAL COUNCIL

Historically, Pastoral Council has been a group of people who help the Pastor envision where the parish is heading in the future. The Pastoral Council at Immaculate Conception Parish is a brainstorming committee that helps generate new ideas to broaden the outreach of the church in our community. Our Pastoal Council meets 4 times a year from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. All parishioners are encouraged to attend our meetings.

Pastoral Council helps to plan various special events throughout the year.  One of the functions that they sponsor each year is the Ministries Weekend held each Fall. Our Parish Council is always looking for input from the Parishioners of Immaculate Conception.  If you have any questions, suggestions or overall concerns, please contact the Council through the parish contact form.  

You can obtain more information about the Parish Council on the Diocesean website Parish Pastoral Council page, including a link to the Diocese Guidelines document.

There are also several parish committees that are involved in the planning of the parish including the Finance Committee and Tithing Committee. Members can find the meeting times for the committees in the Bulletin and in the calendar.
