Pastoral Council

 

Our parish is filled with many dedicated volunteers who serve our community in prayer, worship and service through many ministries and organizations.  The parish council is committed to providing support to all of these groups, and is organized into four commissions:

​

At least one council member is dedicated as a liaison for each commission.   To facilitate good communication among our parish organizations, council members will convene a meeting of each commission twice per year, or as needed.

  • Steve Gantner (Co-Chairman) 

  • Cara Koen (Secretary)

  • Theresa Brandt 

  • Mike Kister 

  • Tom Rechtien
