MEET PASTORAL COUNCIL
The Pastoral Council is a consultative body with whom the Pastor can reflect with and ask for assistance to guide the overall care and ministry of the Parish. Pastoral Council is comprised of 12 parishioners. While four new members are elected each year, the Pastor makes additional appointments. Applicants must have been active members of the parish for at least two years and must contribute volunteer hours as well. An Application and interview with the Pastor is required. Meetings are held monthly, usually on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00PM. Pastoralcouncil@saintaloysius.net

When asked the question – Why do you wish to serve on Pastoral Council? MaryAnn responded: I believe that I bring a unique background to the table. I was baptized Catholic, but not raised in any church. In high school, I chose to connect to my family’s underlying Catholic faith through RCIA and CCD. As adults, my husband and I have experienced the prosperity of having good stable finances, weathered losses of jobs and dealt with unemployment. We also have the understanding of starting a family and starting anew after moving across the country. Before leaving the Midwest, I worked closely with a Catholic Young Adult organization called Veritas. Our goal was to bring young adult Catholics closer to Christ. Additionally, I was involved with the Grand Rapids Diocese Cursillo movement for several years. Our family has been a part of the St. Al’s family for a couple years now and we are looking to be a service to the parish. I am honored to be considered for the parish council and hope to be a useful servant.
