Parish Pastoral Council

The Parish Pastoral Council of St. Dominic Catholic Church is a consultative body that assists the parish priest in discerning and promoting the spiritual and pastoral mission of the Church. Rooted in the vision of Vatican II and guided by Canon Law, the council fosters collaboration among clergy and laity, offering prayerful insight and strategic guidance on matters affecting parish life. Through dialogue, planning, and shared responsibility, the council seeks to strengthen evangelization, liturgical participation, and community engagement in service of Christ’s mission.
