What is The Pastoral Council? The Pastoral Council is a consultative body to the pastor. The council meets monthly from September through May to discuss common concerns.

The specific purposes of the Pastoral Council are:

• To develop a common vision and purpose, actively advocate for the poor and the powerless, and to extend Christian commitment to the surrounding neighborhoods and communities.

• To orchestrate a statement of mission for the parish community and become the reference point for activity in the Parish.

• To provide recommendations for parish priorities, directions, and policies through pastoral planning for worship, evangelization, outreach, stewardship, etc.

• To promote communication, understanding, and collaboration among parish organizations and between the parish, the Bishop, the Diocese, and the Universal Church.

Order of Christian Initiation of Adults

OCIA is a process of spiritual formation which prepares adults for full initiation into the faith.

At Saint Kateri Parish, we meet as a small group to explore and discuss the foundations of our Catholic faith and help each other to grow in our relationship with the Lord.

OCIA is for:

• Anyone who is curious about the Catholic Church
• Anyone who is interested in becoming Catholic
• Adult Catholics who have not completed the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, First Communion, or Confirmation).

Parishioners are welcome to join any of our sessions.
