IHM encourages participation, communication, and collaboration in all works of the parish.
IHM has consultative bodies of lay parishioners who advise and assist the pastor and/or his designate. These are:
Finance Council: The Finance Council provides consultation to the pastor and principal to support a strong financial foundation to enable the funding of the service and ministries of the parish and the education of the children in the faith of the Church and academics. This Council meets with the pastor and principal every other month and communicates on an ongoing basis for financial decisions between meetings.Pastoral Council: The Code of Cannon Law suggests that each parish have a Pastoral Council, as a visioning body. The Pastoral Council serves as advisors to the Pastor, which includes helping with current and future planning for the parish.
The Parish Pastoral Council is the consultative body that advises the pastor in planning and sustaining the pastoral life of the parish. Councilors serve 3-year terms and meet several times a year.
If you have questions about the Pastoral Council, contact Fr. Fred Wendel.
