What Is The PPC?

 
The St. Joseph Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) is the primary means by which the pastor (Fr. Gary) and St. Joseph parishioners respond to the pastoral mission of the church and listen to the needs and hopes of its parishioners.  Think of it as the voice of the parishioners working in tandem with parish leadership to fulfill our parish vision, “Encouraging all to grow as joyful disciples of Jesus Christ.”
 
In consultation and collaboration with parishioners like you and parish leadership, the PPC created the parish vision (quoted above), mission, core values, and pastoral plan.  The pastoral plan addresses the needs of the parish.  The PPC assists Fr. Gary in implementing the pastoral plan and evaluating its progress in light of the vision, mission and core values.  The PPC also develops and evaluates goals and priorities in support of the pastoral plan.  In summary, the PPC supports the parish in addressing its needs and carrying out its responsibilities.
