Parish council meetings are held monthly on the second
Sunday after coffee hour, and are open to all who wish to observe.
Financials and reports are reviewed at each meeting. Nine of the
council members are elected at the Parish Annual Meeting in February,
and serve staggered, three-year terms. Three of the members are
appointed by the parish priest, and the others serve as representatives
of major parish organizations. Some positions are ad-hoc (non-voting)
