Pastoral Council

St. Bart's Pastoral Council advises and assists the pastor in achieving the parish goals. This includes: developing and recommending parish policies; representing the needs and views of parishioners; coordinating activities among the parish organizations; and, promoting the mission of the parish. The Pastoral Council does not implement programs which are the responsibility of the parish staff, the school, and the CYO, but instead addresses issues that fall outside their purview.
The Pastoral Council recently oversaw completion of our parish website. We continue to work on enhancing communication and transparency. We staff a Listening Post quarterly where parishioners can propose suggestions and advise on parish related topics for further discussion. Additionally, members of the congregation can contact the Pastoral Council electronically on our interactive website and their concerns will be addressed. Elections of selected officers are held annually.
