Parish Pastoral Council Nominations
By Mike Anderson, PPC Chair

Nominations for the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) are now being sought. The PPC is made up
of 12 parishioners, six female and six male. Four individuals (two women and two men) rotate
off each year. Nominations for a three-year term beginning in January are open now through
November 6. You may nominate someone else, or self-nomination is also encouraged.
Members must be at least 18 years of age.

The goal of the PPC is: “To foster a growing community of disciples that lead each other to
Christ through service, prayer, communication, collaboration, formation, and evangelization”.
The purpose of the PPC is to further the mission of the parish by seeking God’s will for the
parish through discernment. It achieves this purpose by:

•  Building a community through faith sharing, Learning more about the Church,  Creating or renewing a mission statement, and Developing and monitoring a Pastoral plan with its goals, objectives, and action steps.

The PPC is advisory to the Rector.
Members of the PPC:

• Attend PPC meetings 10 times per year (the evening of the third Wednesday of the month, excluding June and July)
• Attend the annual, one-day retreat in January or February (9a-3p)
• Be willing to serve as a committee liaison for the parish

One new member will be chosen from those nominated by casting of lots at each of the first four Masses during the weekend of November 11/12.

I would highly encourage each of you to prayerfully consider either nominating yourself or
someone else. Our parish is strengthened by the involvement of the parishioners and this is a
great way to give back to our Church. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells his disciples that
“the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve”.
