Making Parish Councils
Pastoral Presented by Dr. Mark F.
Fischer
Did you ever wonder what Pastoral Councils do?
Catholic pastors consult pastoral councils in order to be better leaders. Bishops and priests ask
their councilors to investigate some aspect of the church, reflect on it, and recommend their
conclusions. In brief, the work of the pastoral council is pastoral planning – not managing
committees.
Pastoral councils were first recommended in Vatican II’s “Decree on the Pastoral Office of
Bishops.” They exist in three-fourths of the 18,000 Catholic parishes in the USA. Yet even
today, almost fifty years after Vatican II, the debate about the nature of the pastoral council still
continues. People discuss what councils do, how they do it, and the motive for putting their gifts
at the service of the Church.

The Empowered Parent
In a world of conflicting values and parental expectations, how can we parent with
confidence and “take back” our parenting role? We’ve all been there…made an unpopular
decision that caused conflict with our children, or made a popular decision that we
regretted later!
