A Parish Council is, by definition, the body of parishioners elected by the membership for the purpose of working together with the Priest in fulfilling the needs of the parish and community. They serve as stewards of the Parish, seeking to the best of human capabilities to fulfill the missions entrusted to them by the Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

The St. James Parish Council\u00a0consists of eleven\u00a0elected members who\u00a0oversee the business matters of the Church. They are elected to a two-year term at the annual Parish Assembly. \u00a0The Council meets twice a month or as needed.<\/p>\n
