This body shall be able to recommend and set direction for the Parish to see that Parish policies are implemented, to encourage members of the Parish to use their gifts and talents in the service of the people and the Church, and to help the Pastor fulfill the mission and goals of the Parish and of the Diocese of Richmond. It exists to advise the Pastor regarding the vision, planning, and ministries necessary for the parish to fulfill its mission. The council is concerned with the overall spiritual, educational, and financial health of the parish, while the Pastor, staff, ministry committees and organizations deal with the specificis of parish life. Council members strive to listen to parishioners in order to be aware of the quality of the varied aspects of parish life, to be supportive of parish ministries and to provide good advice to the Pastor. The Council, which meets on the third Thursday of each month except December and July, is a representative group which includes at-large members and the chairpersons of seven parish ministry committees.
