Parish Council
The Code of Canon Law provides for the establishment of a Parish Council to assist the Pastor in planning, coordinating, guiding, and directing all aspects of parish life. In the Diocese of Bridgeport, each parish is required by law to have a Parish Pastoral Council, as per the decree promulgated on June 29, 2019.
Although the Parish Council and the Parish Finance Council are separate, each with its own specific role in the life and operation of the parish, the two councils must work together for the good of the parish.
