The mission of a Catholic parish is to be a community of persons united in the Lord as God's people ministering to one another, as well as to those around them. The task of serving the parish community is the work of the entire parish under the leadership of the pastor. Together with his parish staff and the members of the Parish Pastoral Council, Commissions and Committees the pastor works in a spirit of unity to provide the ministries and programs that serve both the mission of the parish, the missions of the archdiocesan church, and the universal church.
All the faithful of the parish are called to share in the mission which God has entrusted to them. The Parish Pastoral Council is a group which assists the pastor in the overall planning and decision-making for the parish representing the wider parish community and which is entrusted with the task of advising the pastor on important matters of pastoral activity.
In its most effective form, the Parish Pastoral Council is the vehicle by which the pastor and his pastoral staff consider and test their own ideas and proposals with a group that represents the entire parish community. It is the official listening post for the local parish community – the pastor listening to his people and the people listening to their pastor.
