Pastoral Council

The Pastoral Council provides the pastor with the wisdom of the laity for the good of the parish.  Because of their knowledge and competence the members of the council are called to share with one another and with the pastor their insights honestly, with courage, and prudence.  Therefore, the parish is strengthened by the unity of effort achieved in reverence and charity.  The members of the council are charged with the responsibility to be available to anyone who wishes to express a concern or desire.  The individual members work with all parishioners who share their wisdom to improve Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Parish to be the best we can be. 

Pastoral Council members,   worship, play, and work with all other parishioners and they  are the eyes and ears of the parish.  Pastoral Council members serve as  liaisons to each ministry to ensure that every ministry is represented, encouraged, praised, and informed. 

The pastoral council embraces the words of St Paul to the Philippians 2:1-4:

If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation in the Spirit, any compassion and mercy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing.  Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but also everyone for those of others.
