The Pastoral Council is primarily focused on implementing the mission of the Diocese of Harrisburg at the parish level: to share the experience of salvation received from Jesus Christ in the living Catholic tradition of Word and Sacrament, drawing all people into a believing, hoping, loving, and serving community that, empowered by the Spirit, gives glory to the Father through Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

The Pastoral Council serves in a consultative role to the Pastor and provides a framework for clergy, religious, and laity to share responsibility. It is more than an advisory board; it is a leadership community where the Pastor and parishioners collaborate in the decision-making process. Additionally, it is a community of service, bearing special accountability for the parish's life. The Council embodies the belief that we are the Church together— clergy, religious, and laity alike.

Council meetings are generally held monthly. Parishioners are encouraged to submit questions, concerns, and ideas to the Council. Current members are listed below. Concerns and ideas can also be submitted using the box located at the back of the church.
