for a full description of these. It is the Council’s responsibility to evaluate the progress that St. Thomas the Apostle is making in the execution of the plan. The council works with ministries to develop workable strategies to address significant concerns and to ensure that detailed and measurable plans are in place for each of the goals. These plans will promote steady progress through budget planning and regular follow-up.
The council will soon consider the parish’s 50th anniversary which takes place in 2016. The council will create a set of steering guidelines to direct the necessary work associated with planning for and carrying out our parish’s golden jubilee celebration.
We look forward to serving the Community in this exciting and challenging year and to the positive effects that the new Pastoral Plan will bring. Members currently serving on the Pastoral Council are:
