MEET YOUR NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS

San Marco Pastoral Council – 2010

There will not be a Parish Council election January as three candidates have come forward for the three open seats on the Council. They are exemplary members of the parish and we are grateful to Lynne, Andy and Tom for their willingness to serve the people of San Marco. They will take their places on the Council in February 2010.

As we look ahead, however, we would encourage parishioners to become more involved in Council matters and consider running for election in 2011. While an advisory body to the Pastor, the Council is an important forum for the discussion of pastoral, liturgical and financial concerns. Please pray for our parish and the effectiveness of our Council. Thank you.
