Stewardship
Stewardship is having the wisdom to understand that everything we have is a gift from God.
The purpose of the parish pastoral council, as described in canon 536, is the "fostering" of "pastoral activity" in the parish. A pastoral council has been established whose responsibility is to investigate under the authority of the pastor all those things which pertain to pastoral works, to ponder them and to propose practical conclusions about them.
The Annunciation Pastoral Council meets monthly, September through June, on the first Monday of the month at 7:00 PM in the Selbert Hall Meeting Room.
Parishioners are welcome to attend. Due to limited seating and prepared agendas, it is recommended that you contact a council member prior to the meeting you wish to attend.
The Council currently consists of the Pastor, two trustees, three at-large members, and three representatives from the Parish's five Commission groups, and the council secretary.
