Pastoral Council - Facilitator
Patte Grey
412-741-6650
The Pastoral Council ensures the Christ-like quality of a vibrant pastoral life at St. James Parish by engaging in annual and continuous planning that includes crafting the parish’s mission, assessing the parish’s needs within the context of changing times, and developing a Parish Pastoral Plan with a vision, goals and objectives; implementing those objectives, evaluating pro-grams, organizations and ministries, and celebrating successes. The Pastoral Council collaborates with the Parish Finance Council to achieve the vision of the Pastoral Plan by leading the parish (parishioners, staff, ministries, organizations and programs) to a fuller manifestation of the Kingdom through inviting them to own the vision and work to accomplish it.
