Parish Council

Today many people are gifted and called to provide leadership in our church community. The Parish Council strives to:
  • Reflect the Gospel message
  • Develop a spirit of collaboration between pastors and people
  • Effectively fulfill a variety of parish responsibilities

Parish of St. Cletus Mission Statement

Welcoming Christ in the Face of Others.

Called to a Ministry of Leadership

The Parish Council's ministry clearly envisions the members of our parish becoming more responsible for leading the parish, a responsibility that is shared with the Parish Staff.

Fundamentally, Council members are chosen to be concerned with striving to understand how our faith in God invites, challenges, and promises us a new life. Not a life separate from our everyday lives, but an everyday life within which we easily know and experience the person, power, and presence of Jesus Christ.

Toward this end, the Council strives to insure that, through its work, the following cores values will be guaranteed for the parish:
  • Accountability:  That parish leaders act responsibly toward parish members, and parishioners toward each other.
    ​
  • Representation: That all have sufficient opportunity to be heard and to participate in decision making processes.

  • Communication: That information be reasonably made available and that building healthy relationships with each other remain a priority.

  • Assistance: That we strive to serve one another.
    ​
  • Direction: That we seek direction from God and cooperate with each other in giving direction to our parish life.
