Consistent with Canon Law and Diocesan Guidelines, our Parish's Pastor and Deacon are assisted by five standing committees, a Finance Committee, and a Parish Council. These bodies are advisory and the final decision on any matter rests with the Pastor.
Every person who is a confirmed Catholic and is an active member in good standing of St. John Paul II Parish is eligible to serve as a member of the Parish’s standing committees. Each standing committee selects two members to serve on the Parish Council.
The members of the Finance Committee are chosen by the Pastor, to assist him in managing the Parish’s finances. In addition to having to satisfy the same criteria as standing committee members, Finance Committee members are required to have some financial expertise. All of these bodies have a chair, co-chair, and secretary.
