Parish Pastoral Council (PPC)

Starting in the fall of 2022, St. Mary Parish, with the support of the St. Boniface Diocesan PPC Renewal and Growth Committee, worked towards reestablishing a Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) within our church.   With input from the parish, goals and objectives were set and the new PPC began in May 2023.  

​

The PPC is a group of St. Mary parishioners that serve as an advisory body to the Pastor and for the our parish for the spiritual renewal and growth of our parish in keeping with the teaching of our Catholic Faith.  

Keeping the parishioner’s interests, intents and the Catholic Faith teachings as the primary focuses, the PPC will work in cooperation with all those associated with St. Mary Parish in the following ways: 
 

1. Represent the whole parish, not in a legal or democratic sense, but in their ability to attend to the pastoral realities and needs of the whole parish. 

2. As an advisory body to the Pastor presenting parishioner concerns and perspectives on issues relating to the pastoral needs of St. Mary Parish. 

The PPC oversees, with the support of the Pastor, the pastoral needs of the Parish including but not limited to the following: 

• Liturgy

• Children and Youth  

• Ministry of Care & Outreach

• Communications

• Fellowship

• Adult Faith Formation & Evangelization

• Sacramental Preparation

• Stewardship 

​The PCC works together with the Finance Committee to ​establish budgets ​and consults with them as needed.  

Please see our PPC Guidelines for further details.
