Dear Friends:
T
his weekend, at all the Masses, a member of the Pastoral Council will speak briefly.
The message is an important message because it will outline the duties and responsibilities of
those who sit on the Council. Next weekend the Nomination Form will be in the bulletin.
First, I wish to thank all those who are members of the Council. Their role is truly very important for me, as pastor, and for you, as their representatives. As I have often said, many of
the decisions you read about in the bulletin or hear announced are because of their initiative
and strong consultation with me. The Pastoral Council is not a rubber stamp group that just
says “yes” to ideas. They are the ones who often initiate ideas, discuss them and come to a
decision about these ideas. I then simply approve. So please consider nominating someone
to sit on the Council. Thank You!
Yours in Christ,
Very Rev. Michael A. Carrano
