Why join the Pastoral Council of St. Joseph Church:

1. Council members act as a vital sounding board, offering wise counsel to help the Pastor make informed decisions.
2. Joining is a direct way to answer the Second Vatican Council's call for laypeople to co-reponsibly participate in the life and mission of the Church.
3. It allows you to use your professional skills, life experiences, and unique spiritual gifts to strengthen the Body of Christ.
4. Council members listen to the concerns, hopes, and ideas of all demographics within the parish, from young families to seniors.
5. You help plan fun community events, parish picnics, and welcoming programs.
6. It breaks down the wall between the pews and the altar, building a great friendship.
7. It is a simple, meaningful way to say "thank you" to God by donating a little bit of your time.
