Are You Called to Serve on the Xavier Pastoral Council?
The Pastoral Council seeks three new members to join us beginning in September 2021. All members of the parish community are encouraged to prayerfully consider—in Ignatian language, to discern—whether this might be the time to offer their gifts as a servant leader. Serving in an advisory role to the pastor, the Council collaborates with the Xavier community to set parish goals and develop objectives; empowers parishioners to implement pastoral plans; and oversees and evaluates them in light of fulfillment of the parish mission.
Pastoral Council members commit to a three-year term of service. At the conclusion of this term, they may serve a subsequent three-year term if they choose to do so. To be eligible, you must be a registered member of the parish for at least two years and at least 20 years old. Additional information is available in the Pastoral Council’s Guidelines for Leadership found at https://sfxavier.org/pastoral-council/. Questions may be directed to any Council member or to pastoralcouncil@sfxavier.org.
An optional information session for those interested in learning more about service on the Council will be held this Sunday, April 25 at 7pm via Zoom. Zoom Link can be found on our website at www.sfxavier.org. New Council members will be chosen over two parish-wide meetings to be held via Zoom on Sunday May 2 and Sunday May 16, both at 7 pm. Attendance at both meetings in May is required to either discern as a potential new Council member or to participate in the selection process of choosing new Council members.
