St. Bede’s Pastoral Council is the chief advisory body to the Pastor for planning and providing overall vision and direction to the parish.  The council’s primary function is to examine issues and offer practical advice on all matters relating to pastoral work. This includes the well-being of the community, the needs of the parish, and any concerns needing attention. The goal of the council is to support the Pastor as he builds a more faith-filled and Christ-centered parish community. The council is charged with identifying and studying issues, reaching practical conclusions, and offering concrete recommendations. 

Those who sit on the council are parishioners who have been recommended to the Pastor. All council members serve for -year terms; are led by a Chairperson appointed from within the council membership, and meet monthly throughout the school year.

The current Pastoral Council members are:
Cathy Schwartz - Chair
Claudia Ferguson - Secretary
Jim Gokey
Alicia Lund
Nick Lupica
Patty Szot
Bren Wells

The Pastoral Council welcomes your questions, comments and concerns. Please direct them to the current Pastoral Council Chairperson, Cathy Schwartz.
