Commitment

Mission: The purpose of the St. Thomas the Apostle Church Parish Pastoral Council is to promote the spiritual growth of the parish community and to plan ways for the parish to carry out the mission of the Church. The Council is a consultative body which makes recommendations of matters of major pastoral concern to the Parish Pastor. The Pastor is to consult with the Council on all matters of major pastoral concern.  The Council’s recommendations deal with pastoral plans and policies, and not with acts of administration.
