The Pastoral Council will normally meet the third week of the months of September, November, January, March or April, May or June. Additional meetings may be called as needed.

A day of retreat will be planned for February of each year and every meeting will include time for prayer, reflection and ongoing formation of the Council.

Any member of the parish is able to submit appropriate issues for consideration for the Council agenda. Items to be considered should be presented in writing, with a signature, to a member of the Executive Committee before the board meeting of the particular month in which the Council meeting is taking place. Non-members of Council may speak to their concern if the issue is on the agenda and they have asked to address the Council.

Regularly scheduled meetings will be open to parishioners as observers but the Pastoral Council may call a closed meeting or close a portion of any given meeting when confidentiality is required.

The quorum for any Pastoral Council meeting will be 2/3 of total membership.

The Pastoral Council will carry out its discussions and made recommendations based on a process of discernment.
