Community Fall Festival Committee – The Community Fall Festival, held in August each year, is the largest fundraising event for the parish.  The Fall Festival Committee consists of a Festival Chair and Co-Chair along with various captains. The Festival Chair and Co-Chair oversee the planning and advertising of all activities and entertainment for the weekend and coordinate captains to organize each activity. Short-term time commitments are needed, June through September. Captains responsibilities include overseeing their activity for the weekend, planning, assisting with set-up, and training volunteers to assure the activity runs smoothly. 

Pastoral Council – These appointed members attend and participate in meetings to represent the views of the parish and act in an advisory capacity to our Pastor. Each member serves as a liaison to other parish committees. Meetings are generally held once a month.

Respect Life Committee - The objectives of this volunteer committee are to inspire, educate, and motivate the parish community to ensure the Church teaching; that each human life, from conception to natural death, needs to be respected as a marvelous gift from God. Monthly meetings include training, spiritual, and educational opportunities.

Stewardship Committee – Stewardship is the response of each individual’s call to discipleship at baptism, returning a portion of the time, talent and treasure God gave us.  This committee coordinates the stewardship drive and activities to educate parishioners on how they can share their gifts with our church community.
