Suscipe
St Ignatius Loyola

Take Lord!
Receive all my liberty,
my memory,
my understanding,
my entire will,
all that I have
and call my own.

To you, Lord, I return it.
Do with it as You will.
Give me only Your love
and Your grace.

That is enough for me.
 

Pastoral Council

Contact Mike Motsinger 787.1571

The Pastoral Council assists our pastor in ministering to the people of the parish. The Council serves mainly as a planning and advisory group. It meets on the second Monday of the month, except for July and December.

Various Pastoral Council committees are involved with specific areas of parish life, such as developing the parish plan; parish facilities policies; parish celebrations and spiritual enrichment; Council elections; etc. The Pastoral Council works closely with the parish staff, Finance Council, Stewardship Committee, Early Childhood Center, and St. Raphael School. Members of the Council receive input from individuals and groups, e.g., as presenters during Pastoral Council meetings, as well as during their interaction with others in the parish.
