Parish Councils
We, the people of St. Anthony of Padua, are a joyful Roman Catholic Community. We believe Our Lord calls us beyond membership to become His true disciples and live as One Body in Christ. Therefore, we choose to use our unique gifts to build a welcoming, interconnected gathering of the faithful that will be a beacon, a light to the world. - Parish Mission Statement, Adopted September 8, 1997.
Pastoral Council
The Pastoral Council is a chief consultative body to the pastor. Consultation is a sharing of wisdom through discernment, prayer, planning and collaboration that enables the parish to carry out its mission. The pastoral council discerns issues that impact the lives of parishioners: prays, studies, and discusses those issues; and recommends practical ways of addressing them. If you have questions about the Pastoral Council, contact pastoralcouncil@ap.church.
Development Council
The Development Council is a collaborative group that works with the pastor to nurture a culture of stewardship and advance the parish’s long-term goals. It promotes the sharing of time, talent, and treasure; advises the pastor on growth initiatives; and helps secure resources to support the Church’s mission.
