Councils and Commissions

Boyne Valley Catholic Community Councils and Commissions

A pastoral council is to be established in all parishes of the Diocese. Pastors/Pastoral Administrators are to regard pastoral council development as a major parish priority. The pastoral council is a community of servant leaders whose purpose is to assist the pastor/pastoral administrator in discerning, through prayer and study, how the parish can best carry out the mission of the Church.

The pastoral council is the primary advisory body to the pastor/pastoral administrator in the parish, considering all matters of major pastoral concern. In such matters, through prayer and study, policy recommendations are carefully discerned by the pastoral council together with the pastor/pastoral administrator. Policy is implemented by the pastor/pastoral administrator, pastoral staff, and other members of the community who minister with them. The pastoral council’s responsibilities include calling all to ministry, pastoral planning, stewardship and/or other pastoral concerns that the pastor/parish life coordinator designates.

A parish finance council is to be established in all parishes of the Diocese. Pastors/Pastoral administrators are to regard finance council development as a major parish priority. The finance council is a community of servant leaders whose purpose is to assist the pastor/pastoral administrator in discerning, through prayer and study, how the goods of a parish can best be administered. The finance council is an advisory body to the pastor/pastoral administrator in the parish, considering all matters of major financial concern. In such matters, through prayer and study, policy recommendations are carefully discerned by the finance council together with the pastor/pastoral administrator in accord with the regulations of universal church law as well as norms issued by the diocesan bishop. Policy is implemented by the pastor/pastoral administrator, pastoral staff, and other members of the community who minister with them. The finance council’s responsibilities include the careful stewardship of parish resources, the development of further resource, and the allocation of resources to carry out the goals and objectives established by the pastor/parish life coordinator with the pastoral council.

The education commission, as an extension of the pastoral council, is a consultative group to the pastor/pastoral administrator.
