Councils & Commissions

Parishioner leadership and involvement at SJN has had a long-standing relation through two main Councils:  the Parish Pastoral Council and the Parish Financial Council.   

The purpose of these two councils is to inform, make recommendations, and support the pastor in matters of the parish. The Pastoral Council concerns itself with the planning and implementation of the commissions and ministries as well as church policies. The Finance Council implements budgets and offers advice regarding financial matters of the parish. There are now seven commissions at St. John Neumann that have been established since 2001. The purpose of these commissions are to support both the Pastoral Council and each of the ministries within the respective commissions by acting as liaisons between the Pastoral Council and the ministries as well as helping existing and new ministries run smoothly and reach goals and objectives. Each commission is listed below along with the ministries within those commissions

Both Councils have a responsibility to advise the Pastor on matters concerning our parish, to develop the physical and spiritual aspects of the parish, and to encourage parishioners to lend their talents to its activities.  Seven commission groups are prescribed by the Diocese.   Each activity is associated with one of these comissions, as seen here....

Your Time, Talent, & Treasure are always needed ....

      Please prayerfully consider how God has blessed your life and how you may be able to pass that blessing on to others. Remember, no matter how little you think you have to offer, God can use it to accomplish miraculous things if you will only trust Him!

        We are praying for you all!
        The Parish Pastoral Council
