Pastoral Council

Pastoral Council

En español

In "Novo Millennio Inuente," Pope John Paul II proclaimed: "In particular, there is a need to foster greater involvement of the laity through such participatory structures as pastoral councils and parish assemblies. Pastoral planning with the lay faithful should be a normal feature of all parishes."

Our Blessed Trinity Pastoral Council, in keeping with the spirit of the Pope's expressed wishes, is a faith-based (as opposed to a business-oriented) leadership body dedicated to providing oversight and empowerment to the lay members of Blessed Trinity Parish. The goal of our Pastoral Council is to foster collaboration and consensus among our parish members in pastoral planning and in defining, continuously refining, disseminating, and achieving our parish's spiritual mission.

Our recently proclaimed mission statement, established based on your inputs from the "in pew" survey at the First Parish Assembly, is as follows:

Our parish is centered in Jesus Christ and nurtured by the Eucharist. Our Mission as Blessed Trinity Catholic Church is to be a vibrant, loving community in the traditions of the Roman Catholic Faith. We pray for God’s help to grow in sharing our time, talent, and treasure more effectively in a committed effort of prayer, education, service and the pastoral care of all our parishioners.

The following goals were derived to support the Mission Statement in a like manner from your inputs.

Goals:

1. Provide an environment that promotes a more personal worship experience for all of our parishioners.

2. Promote the spiritual growth of all our parishioners.

3. Ensure that an appropriate variety of social activities are offered for all ages and for inter-cultural relationship building.

4. Establish a year-round stewardship program to make optimal use of all of our gifts of time, talent and treasure.
