the Pa Pastora ral Council uncil w within in th the Parish

• “Unlike the parish staff, the Pastoral

Council is not a group of experts in catechesis, liturgy, pastoral care or

• education. Th

The C Counc uncil’s p primary g gif ift is is pr pract ctical w wisdom. . The Council is made up of parishioners who have a vested interest in the life and development of the parish and want to help the pastor (pastoral administrator) in this regard.”

• This “pr

pract ctical w wisdom” allows you to advise your pastor (pastoral administrator) on how to live the mission of the church in your context.
