Councils & Commissions |
|
Parishioner leadership and involvement at SJN has a long-standing tradition of activity through two main Councils
Parish Pastoral Council
Parish Financial Council
The purpose of theses two councils is to inform, make recommendations, and support the pastor in matters of the parish. The Pastoral Council concerns itself with the planning and implementation of the commissions and ministries as well as church policies. The Finance Council implements budgets and offers advice regarding financial matters of the parish.
Both councils have a responsibility to advise the pastor on matters concerning our parish, to develop the physical and spiritual aspects of the parish, and to encourage parishioners to lend their talents to its activities. Seven commission groups are prescribed by the Diocese of Charlotte.
The recommended commissions were established at St. John Neumann in 2007. The purpose of these commissions is to support both the Pastoral Council and each of the ministries within the respective commissions by acting as liaisons between the Pastoral Council and the ministries. These commissions also help existing and new ministries run smoothly and reach their goals and objectives.
If you are interested in serving our parish on either Parish Pastoral Council or the Parish Finance Council, please contact the parish office. The Parish Pastoral Council meets monthly and all parish members are invited to attend. Please watch the bulletin and weekly email for dates.

Commissions
In 2010, the Diocese of Charlotte asked all parishes within the diocese to look ahead and plan for the future growth of the Diocese of Charlotte. Each of the seven commissions were asked to create a five-year plan and submit it to the diocese. Our plan is the result of many hours of prayer, group meetings and input. You can read the exciting ideas we have for the growth or our parish as we work our parish plan by viewing the link below.
