Pastoral Council
A consultative body that assists the pastor in promoting the parish mission of worship, education and service. The Council now works closely with our cluster partner of Saint Paschal Baylon Parish to enhance the Catholic presence in greater Hillcrest. The lay members are discerned for four-year terms and meet ten months of the year.
