St. Mark Pastoral Council

The St. Mark Pastoral Council shall be the instrument through which a representative body of the parishioners of St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church provide consultative support for the pastor in his duties and obligations as the pastor. 
The St. Mark Pastoral Council Shall Fulfill These Goals By:

• Prayerfully discerning the needs of the parish community.
• Serving as a vehicle for constructive dialogue with the parish community.
• Serving as a consultative body to the pastor.
• Collaborating with the pastor to formulate policies concerning parish and pastoral matters consistent with faith and morals, civil and church law, and Archdiocesan policy.
• Empowering the other parish entities to advance their roles in the growth of the parish.
• Identifying and calling forth the gifts and talents of the members of the parish community.
• Coordinating, encouraging, and promoting every apostolic activity within the parish through which the parish community discharges its common responsibility to make the Gospel message known.

The Parish Pastoral Council consists of twelve voting members, including eight ex-officio members drawn from key parish entities and four at-large members selected from among the parishioners by the council itself.
