Since this is not a council of representatives,
there is no need to consider representation of age groups.
Nevertheless, we do need individuals whose maturity level allows
them to be secure, confident, and comfortable dealing with
consensus and conflict. This type of maturity often comes with
experience and age.
Please forward the name of a parishioner whom
you identify as having the gifts for Pastoral Council leadership.
The people will receive a call to inform them that they have been
named, and ask them to participate in an information session.
They will have the option to remain in the selection process or
not.
Please forward your name to:
pastoralcouncil@stclementschurch.com or drop a note off at the
Parish Office with your recommendation. Thank you for your
suggestions. Please pray for the selection of Pastoral Council
leadership in our Parish.
