Pastoral Council


A community of parishioners who work with the pastor to develop a vision and long-term goals for the parish in line with our Mission Statement.

The Pastoral Council meets regularly throughout the year. Typically, the agenda is published on the parish web site a few days before a meeting, giving parishioners a chance to contact the council in advance and contribute their suggestions and concerns.

The current members are (listed alphabetically):

Mary Arbuckle, Co-chair   Phyllis Bonocore
Larry Brewster Howard Case, Co-chair
Rose Casserly Maddy Davies
John Espiritu Greg Fox
Joan Gallagher Vanita Louie
