The Anderson-Alexandria Pastorate Pastoral Council's mission is to foster spiritual growth, collaboration, and community among our parishes. Comprised of dedicated parishioners who are deeply committed to their faith and their communities, the council serves as a guiding body, working closely with Father Tom Metzger to address the spiritual and pastoral needs of our parish family.

We bring together diverse talents, experiences, and perspectives to enhance the life of our parish community. Our members are actively involved in various ministries, activities, and outreach programs, ensuring that we stay connected with the needs and aspirations of our fellow parishioners. 

By fostering open communication and a spirit of service, we strive to create a vibrant and welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

Our primary goals include:

• Growth: Encouraging and facilitating opportunities for deepening faith and spiritual development.
• Community Building: Strengthening bonds within our pastorate through events, programs, and outreach initiatives.
• Collaboration: Working together with our pastor, pastorate staff, and fellow parishioners to identify and address key issues and opportunities.
• Service: Promoting and supporting acts of service and charity within and beyond our parish community.
  
  

We invite all members of our pastorate to join us in our mission and to share their ideas, concerns, and hopes for the future. Together, guided by the Holy Spirit, we can build a stronger, more vibrant faith community.

Please feel free to reach out to any of our council members with questions or suggestions. We are here to listen, support, and work alongside you as we journey together in faith.
