Pastoral Council


The Parish Pastoral Council of St. Joseph Parish shall be a praying, visionary, consulting, planning and collaborative body in conjunction with the pastor, developing goals and empowering commissions to implement these goals in all areas of parish life, always in accordance with the prescriptions of Canon Law, Diocesan Statutes and its constitution.

  Purpose
The purpose of the Pastoral Council is to identify the needs of parishioners and the talents given by God to the members of St. Joseph Parish. The Council is to maintain an ongoing statement of the needs and goals of the parish and, in union with the Pastor, determine priorities with respect to the allotment of personal, physical, and financial resources. Five working Commissions will implement these goals: Administration, Education, Service, Worship, and Parish Life. In addition, the Council will dialogue with other religious bodies and with civic, business, and professional organizations in working for the common good of the community. The Council is to lead the parish in full support of the programs recommended by the Catholic Church and the Diocese of Joliet. The Council exists to provide living witness by example of true Christian values and the reality of the Holy Spirit working actively within the Parish.
