PASTOR'S ADVISORY COUNCILS
PASTORAL COUNCIL
NORMS
If the diocesan bishop judges it opportune after he has heard the presbyteral council, a pastoral council is to be established in each parish, over which the pastor presides and in which the Christian faithful, together with those who share in pastoral care by virtue of their office in the parish, assist in fostering pastoral activity. A pastoral council possesses a consultative vote only and is governed by the norms established by the diocesan bishop. Code of Canon Law, Can. 536 §1-§2.
By mandate of the Bishop of Arlington, every pastor in the diocese is to have a functioning Pastoral Council which is to be governed by the principles enunciated in the pastoral letter "A Pastoral Letter on Consultation in the Parish," dated September 17, 1984.
MEMBERSHIP
- Members are appointed by the pastor to serve for terms lasting two years; terms are renewable.
- Terms are staggered, with half the members' terms expiring each year.
- Terms follow the academic year, lasting from September through June, and consist of four meetings.
- Following is the current membership:
