Parish Pastoral Council

“We, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”

The Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) of St. Mary’s & St. Ann’s Parish exists to foster the spiritual growth and pastoral vitality of our parish community. Together with the Pastor, the Council works prayerfully to discern God’s will for the parish and to help shape our mission in the light of the Gospel.

Our Council reflects the richness of our parish — a family of faith committed to worship, service, and community life in the Diocese of St. Catharines.

💒 Purpose and Mission

The Parish Pastoral Council serves as a consultative body that assists the Pastor in:

  • Strengthening the spiritual and pastoral life of the parish.

  • Encouraging lay participation in ministry and mission.

  • Discerning and developing pastoral priorities.

  • Supporting initiatives in evangelization, faith formation, and stewardship.

  • Building unity between St. Mary’s, Hagersville and St. Ann’s, Walpole parish families.

All decisions are rooted in prayer, discernment, and collaboration, guided by the Holy Spirit. ✨

🗓️ Meetings

The Parish Pastoral Council meets monthly (except July and August).
Meetings begin with prayer and reflection, followed by discussion of parish goals, ministries, and community concerns.

A brief summary of key decisions and upcoming initiatives is usually shared in the parish bulletin or during parish announcements.

 

🌿 Spiritual Focus

Our Pastoral Council is not a management board — it is a community of faith and service. We begin and end each meeting with prayer, seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we serve Christ’s mission in Hagersville and beyond.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

The Pastoral Council focuses on the mission, ministries, and pastoral life of the parish, while the Finance Committee advises on financial matters and stewardship. Both collaborate closely with the Pastor.

Members may be nominated by parishioners or appointed by the Pastor. New members are invited to serve as others complete their term, ensuring renewal and continuity.

3️⃣ Can anyone attend Council meetings?

The Council seeks consensus through prayerful discernment, rather than voting. Each decision is made with the good of the whole parish in mind.

The Council helps ensure that the voice of the parish community is heard, and that pastoral planning flows from shared faith, hope, and love.
