Pastoral Council
Purpose
The Pastoral Council exists to establish and nurture a vision for the parishes of CCNCC as a Christian community of faith. This vision seeks to transform people, identify ministry needs, and plan responsibly for the CCNCC community. This vision is rooted in the parish mission statement and the mission of Christ, who commanded all the baptized to "Go into the whole world and proclaim the good news to all creation" (Mark: 16-15).
Prayer for Pastoral Council
You have called us to be the servants of your servants, our brothers, and sisters in the parish. We meet here as their representatives and so we ask for the grace of your guidance to help us truly represent them and not simply ourselves. May the needs of our parish and the common good of all be our concern, and above all, may Your will in these matters be our will. Help us who serve in leadership to remember that all of our concerns are aimed at the spiritual transformation of our parish community. And may the Holy Spirit who inspired the Pentecost meeting of the Apostles visit and grant us the light of divine wisdom. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ.
