Pastoral Council:

The Pastoral Council is an advisory group of nine registered lay parishioners created to assist the Pastor with parish and pastoral issues. The Council is a representative body of the entire faith community, as expressed in the Diocese of Austin's guidelines for Pastoral Councils. The role of the council is to understand parish issues and concerns, and prayerfully reflect upon them seeking consensus for the good of the parish. The Council meets once per month (excluding August) with the Pastor to consider parish needs. The meetings are open to all members of the parish, and parishioners may contact any member of the council to have their issues addressed or to be added to the agenda. Council members serve a term of four years and are selected through a discernment process conducted ever two years in month of October. Any registered member of the parish who wishes to serve on the Pastoral Advisory Council is welcome to participate in the discernment process.


Current members of the council are Oscar Moreno (President), Donna Holman (V-President), Nancy L. Bosworth (Secretary), Darryl T. Agostinelli, Dulce Maria Corral, Tracey McConkey, Nancy Solano, Mark Watson & Ruben Dominguez.
