St. Polycarp Church 

Parish Advisory Council 

Mission Statement:   

As faith-filled members of St. Polycarp Catholic Church, we have been chosen to come together to support our parish communities and our pastor.  We will coordinate and conduct events and activities that will unite our parish communities in one heart and mind. 

The Advisory Council is consultative to the pastor.  The parish advisory council is consultative in that the council members cannot act apart from the pastor. 

Decision-making in the Advisory Council is by consensus.  Listening, information-giving, conversation, exploring, and discerning are the normal forms of exchange.  To have consensus each member must see something of merit or reasonableness in the proposal -- something of value for the parish community, the will of the Spirit.

Parish Events:  These events will be carried out by the Vietnamese, Hispanic, Filipino and Anglo communities. 

• ·        Feast Day of St. Polycarp

• ·        Six Friday Lenten Meals

• ·        Pentecost Sunday

• ·        Special receptions as determined by the pastor
