Are you interested in serving on the Parish Pastoral Council?

In his Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelization in the Modern World, Pope Paul VI wrote, “The Church exists to evangelize.” It follows then that St. Paul VI Parish exists to evangelize - to proclaim in word and deed the Good News of Jesus Christ. That vision is the foundation of the new Parish Pastoral Council. It is a broad vision and the PPC will collaborate with our pastor and associate pastor on long term parish strategy and will provide feedback and ensure accountability on milestones.

Members of the three parish councils who offered to be on the Preparation Team for the new council met on June 29th. Mr. Ric Moreno from the Vicariate Office of the Archdiocese presented the role of the new council and the qualities we should look for in new members.

You might get a call! The Prep Team has been charged with identifying and contacting people who have a broad vision and have some specific qualities: faith, understanding of parish, grasp of the mission of the Church, open-minded, good listener, appreciative of different points of view, able to enact a vision for parish life and ministry.

If you have these qualities and would be interested in serving on the Parish Pastoral Council, please contact Carole Eipers at ceipers@stpaulVIparish.org or 708-447-1020. Meanwhile, please pray that we call forth good people and that they will respond yes!

Please feel free to contact the Parish Office for any question you may have at (708) 447-1020
