Consultative Ministries
Every Catholic parish reflects the collaboration of clergy and laity, staff and parishioners in fulfilling the mission of the parish and the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus. St. Joseph Parish is no exception to this. In a unique way, these three consultative ministries of the parish provide counsel and vision to the Pastor as he works to fulfill his ministry at the parish. Unlike the other ministries of the parish, membership on these ministries is governed by their own guidelines and selection process involving the parish-at-large, appointment, and hiring by the Pastor.

Finance Council
The purpose of the Parish Finance Council is to aid the Pastor in the administration of parish goods. Our Parish Finance Council accomplishes this in three particular ways: 1) bi-monthly meetings to discuss the financials of the parish, 2) annual assistance in preparation of the parish budget, and 3) consultative discussion with the Pastor on matters of major financial impact upon the parish, particularly purchases and undertakings costing over $25,000.
Parish Pastoral Council
St. Joseph Parish Pastoral Council promotes and supports the purpose of St. Joseph Parish as defined in the parish mission statement. They are a group of men and women representatives serving our Church by offering their collaborative talents, leadership, and advice directly to the pastor. Candidates are nominated and discerned. Members serve a three year term.
Parish Pastoral Staff
St. Joseph Parish Pastoral Staff is a group of men and women ministering for the day-to-day ministries and operations of the parish, accountable to the Pastor. Their work and ministry collaborates with the other consultative ministries in support of the purpose of St. Joseph Parish as defined in the parish mission statement.
