Parish Pastoral Council |
||||
The Parish Pastoral Council serves as a means of communication between the clergy and laity of the parish. The council identifies the needs of the parish and acts upon them. It encourages involvement of the parishioners in all phases of parish work. The council functions according to the spirit of Vatican II and according to the guidelines of the Pastoral Directives of the Diocese of Knoxville. The council membership is composed of the Pastor, assistant Pastors, chairman, vice chairman, and fourteen members. The paid staff of the parish are not eligible to be voting members of the Parish Council. Any parish member 18 years of age or older is eligible to serve on the council as an elected member. All council members must be registered at Our Lady of Fatima and practicing Catholics. A council member is eligible to serve for two consecutive terms, for a total of six years. They may run for election again after an absence of one year. The nominating committee is announced in September. They approach other eligible parishioners and compile a list to be published for election the second Sunday of November. Newly elected members assume office at the December council meeting. The council is made up of the following committees: Administration and Stewardship: Serves the material needs of the parish. This committee concerns itself with the parish budget and fund raising in addition to overseeing the maintenance of the parish. Fund raising and stewardship is also a very important part of this committee. Education: Coordinate and identify all religious education needs of the parish with the assistance of the Director of Religious Education. This includes preschool, grades 1-8, high school youth ministry, and adult education. For more complete information regarding the Education Program at OLOF, refer to the CCD Handbook furnished by the CCD office (call 981-2676).
