The St. Bartholomew Pastoral Council invites and assists our parish in co-responsibly handing on the mission of Christ throughout our local parish community. The Pastoral Council are laypeople who help their fellow parishioners answer their baptismal call, while at the same time forming its members into active witnesses for the entire community. They foster collaboration and cohesion among the entire parish community. Ultimately, the pastor is responsible for the parish, but it takes all the faithful to accomplish the parish’s mission and drive the parish’s vision forward.
