Mission Statement for Pastoral Council
The Pastoral Council for St. Christina parish is comprised of parishioners from all facets of parish life. We meet on a monthly basis to identify, discuss and understand the present issues and concerns, as well as the long-range plans. These topics may include spiritual, social, or community needs.
With the guidance of our pastor and aided by the presence of the Holy Spirit, we try to lead the parish to a greater and more meaningful sense of parish community.
