Pastoral Council

Pastoral Council

The Pastoral Council is an advisory board designed to consult with the pastor regarding aspects of parish life that support wholeness and holiness. The council strives to assure that all aspects of parish life reflect the mission and ministry of Jesus. Each parish in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois is required by diocesan particular law to have a pastoral council. The pastoral council meets five times per year between August and May.


Members on the pastoral council are appointed by the pastor to serve a three-year (3) term. The pastor is the president of the council and the parish clergy are ex officio members. The current appointed members of the council are: Theresa Hansen, Jessica Davis, Steve Roth, Margo Hasara, Ann Forrler, Susan Brinkoetter, and Pat Selinger.
