The Sacred Heart Pastoral Council assists the pastor in developing a vision for parish life that enables the parish to fulfill the ideals of its mission statement. Council members are elected yearly and serve a three-year term. The Pastoral Council and its members play a critical role in visioning ways in which the Sacred Heart Parish can more effectively live the Gospel.
Each spring, parishioners who regularly attend mass may express their interest in serving on the council. On a designated weekend in June, the needed number of names are drawn from the pool of interested candidates out of a basket after a selected mass. The Sacred Heart Pastoral Council is the principal advisory council of the parish.
