Meet our Councils
This page is in progress – Thank you for your patience
There are several councils and committees that exist to advise our Pastor, TFS Principal, Preschool Director, and Justice & Peace Director in matters related to the Parish, the Franciscan School, and the Preschool. These consultative bodies assist these leaders as they seek guidance in overseeing the well-being and growth of our faith community.

In accordance with the provisions of Canon Law and the policies of the Diocese of Raleigh, the Pastoral Council is a representative group of parishioners who, through consensus, serve as a consultative body to the Pastor. The Council is a strategic visioning group that fosters the implementation of the Parish Mission statement through short term and long term strategic planning. Each member of the council has the sense of being a servant of the entire parish without being considered necessarily deputies of a specific constituency. The Pastoral Council is appointed by the pastor to expand and enhance the decision-making process of strategic pastoral planning.

Every Catholic parish in the world is required to have a Finance Council. This is an advisory group of parishioners with expertise in matters related to the financial and material well-being of the parish. The Council is charged with ensuring the resources entrusted to and maintained by the parish are properly managed, considering the Church’s values, the mission of the community of faith, and sound business practices. Members are appointed by the pastor and reflect the various needs he has for solid oversight and advice on all matters related to the financial and material resources of the community.
