Pastoral Council Application The role of the Pastoral Council is to serve as a consultative body for various matters under consideration by the Pastor. It also acts as an information conduit between the Pastor and the parish, including St. Monica School. At Father Guadagnoli's request the Council most recently has been focused on developing a pastoral strategic plan for St. Monica Parish following the essential elements of parish life: Evangelization, Worship, Word, Community, Service, Stewardship, and Leadership.
