Pastoral Council

The Mary of the Visitation Pastoral Council functions as a consultative body of representative members of the parish in a spirit of collaboration. (Canon 536) These members, with the pastor, form one body and are co-responsible for the pastoral care of the parish. The people and the pastor together reflect on the parish's ministerial activity, and on the basis of that reflection, they discern what needs to be changed or developed in the parish to make it more faithful to what God is calling it to be. Because of the collegial nature of the pastoral council, it requires a collaborative decision-making process; the spirit of arriving at decisions shall be by consensus.

Meeting Schedule

Meetings are held at 7 pm on the fourth Tuesday of each month except July and December when the Council does not meet at all. Meetings are held at alternating locations: odd months at the Becker location and even months at the Big Lake location.
