The Pastoral Council consists of a group of St. James parishioners  whose purpose is to advise our Pastor, Fr. John.  The council acts in accordance with diocesan regulations.
The council members are appointed by the Pastor.  Each member undergoes a a time of discernment and training before serving a term of either two or three years. They may be appointed for a second  term. The functions of the Council are to maintain the integrity of the parish mission statement and the related goals and objectives as set forth in the parish pastoral plan.

​The Pastoral Council meets on a monthly basis. If you would like to contact the Pastoral Council with questions, concerns, or feedback, please email office@stjameswashpa.org.
