Parish Pastoral Council
Your Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) is a group of committed parishioners working closely with our priests to help guide and shape the life of our parish. We listen, plan, encourage, and pray for ways our community can grow in faith, outreach and sustainability. We meet regularly to discern and review how we are tracking with our pastoral vision—and we’re always open to ideas and feedback from you.

Church Flowers
The Church Flowers Ministry enhances the beauty of the worship space by arranging fresh flowers for the altar each week. Volunteers either create new arrangements or refresh existing ones to reflect the liturgical season. This ministry is ideal for those with a love for flowers and a desire to serve through creativity and care.
