 The Eucharist we celebrate urges us and empowers us to participate in the mission of Jesus Christ to proclaim the Kingdom of God present in our world. In participating in this mission, we imitate the example of the Teacher, who “came not to be served, but to serve.” These are the ministries of service to the parish community:
PASTORAL COUNCIL
This group meets on the second Wednesday from September to June, and is responsible for the spiritual development and growth of the parish community. Working with the Pastoral Staff, the Council sets goals and reaches a consensus on how to best implement these.
Chairperson: The Honorable Judge Thomas Elwell email: tjelwell@adelphia.net

STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE
Stewardship is not simply making donations or taking care of the building and grounds. It is a spirituality--hence a way of life--made of four parts:
Receiving the gifts of God with gratitude
Cultivating them responsibly
Sharing them lovingly in justice with others
Standing before the Lord in a spirit of accountability
It is up to you to determine how you will live out this stewardship way of life. You will not be alone, however. Millions of fellow Catholics are traveling together with you. The Stewardship Committee needs all who are committed to our parish. Please indicate your interest in one or more of the parish committees and you will be contacted.
Chairperson: Sr. Annamae Murphy - email: amurphy@stpeterlorain.org
