Parish Pastoral Council

The Church of the Holy Spirit and St. Joseph's have shared a pastor, a parochial vicar and finance director since 2014. We remain two distinct legal entities. Recently, we have begun a process of identifying additional ministry areas where we can collaborate for the benefit of both communities. There is a Collaboration Team that includes our two Council chairs, Ned Sayegh and Mike Schifano, pastor Fr. Jim Schwartz, parochial vicar Fr. Jeff Chichester, Deacon Ray Garbach, Cathy Kamp, Marc Magagnoli and Nancy Veronesi.

Combining our two Pastoral Parish Councils was the first initiative undertaken by the Collaboration Team and joint meetings have begun in Fall 2019. All members of both Councils, representing the spectrum of our parish ministries, have been invited to participate in a monthly agenda that includes: Prayer, Pastor, and Chair reports, a Ministry Focus, Small Group Table Discussion, Large Group Sharing including, parish-specific concerns, and identification of Action Steps. Links to the Minutes will be promptly posted on this page.
