VICARIATE PASTORAL COUNCIL MISSION STATEMENT

Awaiting the Missin Statement (July 2015).

WHAT IS THE VICARIATE PASTORAL COUNCIL?

HOW DOES IT AFFECT "MY CHURCH?"

Information exclusive to the Vicariate Pastoral Council appears from pages 99-106 of the AOD Parish, Vicariate, Archdiocesan Councils Handbook, which was published in July 2011. You can download the entire handbook or desired portions for FREE by scrolling down and clicking on the link provided at the bottom of this page.

Here's a few pertinent excerpts:
 
"Working from a vicariate mission statement, in conjunction with the Together in Faith plan, parishes are to send representatives to the Vicariate Pastoral Council. Two members of the Parish Pastoral Council should be chosen to represent the parish on this council, being the reporting liaisons between the two bodies. The Vicariate Pastoral Council members should be included on the agenda of the Parish Pastoral Council meetings and the meetings of the appropriate commissions. Depending on the activities of the Vicariate Pastoral Council, additional members of the parish may be asked to serve on committees within this council."
 
"The Vicariate Pastoral Council serves as a representative, collaborative and consultative body to parishes, Catholic Schools, institutions and agencies, in the ministry of education, service, worship, and stewardship providing continuity of the Archdiocesan mission between its members. The Vicariate Pastoral Council is composed of two representatives from each parish and institution within the vicariate boundaries."
