Advisory Board Ministry
-
These ministries share financial planning and fundraising responsibilities
with the pastor to ensure the fiscal well-being of the parish and also allow
our community the opportunity to share its treasures with those in need.
The PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL is composed of the pastor (ex-officio), and elected members from the parish community. The role of the Parish Pastoral Council is to maintain the integrity of the Parish Mission Statement and to establish and monitor the goals and objectives which promote the mission through ongoing pastoral planning. As a leadership body selected from the parish, the council serves as an advisory body to the pastor through prayerful discernment and empowers many dedicated parishioners to strive to attain the goals and objectives embodied in the parish mission.

The FINANCE COMMITTEE assists the pastor in making financial decisions and preparing an annual budget for the parish by conducting long range and fiscal plans. It provides advice to the pastor regarding investments, fundraising, and cost-saving measures. This group meets to compare and analyze variances of actual spending to the budget and to discuss plans, such as capital projects. The pastor appoints voting members, and all parishioners may attend the meetings if they request it ahead of time.

BAZAAR COMMITTEE The Our Lady of the Lake Bazaar is the largest annual fund raiser for our parish. Money raised at the bazaar is used to fund capital improvements in the parish. In addition to providing much needed funds for the parish, 10% of the bazaar profit is donated to local charities. Under the direction of the pastor, the Bazaar Leadership Team plans and oversees the operation of the bazaar. Many volunteers are needed each year to ensure the success of this event. As important as the money it raises is the community it builds. The bazaar is a wonderful way to meet fellow parishioners.
