Thank you for exploring our pastoral council website. You are part of our community, and we welcome your feedback, ideas, and input. Currently, the Pastoral Council meets on the last Sunday of the month (Sept.-June). We do not meet in December. Meetings last approximately 60 minutes. We post our scheduled meeting dates online, but feel free to email our President, and/or call the Church Office for an update, since our location (Church Hall) and time does occasionally vary, if space or time scheduling conflicts arise.
Each year, annual nominations are held to fill seats that become open on the council. This year, 2025, there are three openings. Each opening is a three-year term. Our nomination process runs across several weeks. You can self-nominate and/or nominate a fellow parishioner. Nomination forms are available at the back of all entrances to the church; through this link: 2025 Nomination Form; or you may contact the church office to have a form mailed to you
(203-453-2788)
After the nominations are received, prospective candidates will have the opportunity to learn more about the Council and discern if they are being called to serve. An in-person informational meeting for interested nominated parishioners will take place on a date to be determined in the church hall.
The final step of the process will be the random LOTTERY selection during the live-stream mass on Pentecost Sunday, June 8, 2025 at the 10:30 am Mass. We ask if you can be present for the lottery, and if your name is chosen, you are invited to the meeting immediately following Mass on June 8th.
Eligible members are those parishioners who have received the Sacrament of Confirmation and are members of the parish. If you, or someone you know, is an active parishioner, committed to serving the parish, and would like to participate on the Pastoral Council, please return the nomination form found in the Parish bulletin in the upcoming weeks. Thank you for your prayerful consideration for service to our parish.
