The Pastoral Council is made up of a group of parishioners who work together to contribute to Sacred Heart Parish by helping to foster hospitality, guide parish spiritual development and sponsor and support a variety of parish events and activities. The goal is to oversee and encourage a parish of “divine renovation” in which various parish organizations provide opportunities for involvement, fellowship, and apostleship at Sacred Heart for parishioners of all ages and interests.
Several of the events the Pastoral Council sponsors and participates in during each year include: "Love in the Heart of Christ" in October, Adopt-a-Family during Advent, providing dinner in the Parish Center before the parish reconciliation service during Lent, and Soles 4 Souls in the Spring.
Members for the Pastoral Council are found from all areas of the parish, including younger and older parishioners and English- and Spanish-speaking communities. Pastoral Council meetings are held once a month from September through June. Parish members are welcome to submit topics to be presented at meetings or inquire about joining the council.
