Immaculate Conception Church Parish Pastoral Council
Mission Statement:
We, the Parish Pastoral Council, are a spiritual advisory body for the parish of Immaculate Conception Church. We prayerfully share our gifts, in collaboration with our pastor, to discern the goals that God has for our faith community. We serve together with the leaders in our parish to fulfill our goals.
