PARISH
LEADERSHIP
The Parish Leadership ministries are ideal for those who thrive in leadership
positions. These committees require assertiveness, thoughtfulness, and consideration
of how business decisions will affect the IHM family as well as those in our
surrounding community. Individuals considering these ministries should also have
an understanding of the Christian mission.

Pastoral Council
Contact:
Katie Riley 414-258-9738
The Pastoral Council empowers, enlightens, and supports the parish community by forming and implementing broad goals, objectives, and plans to carry out the parish mission. The council also forms and approves parish policies, and reviews and approves the annual operating budget. Parishioners who wish to be leaders in the parish are encouraged to consider this ministry. Pastoral Council members accept a three-year commitment. Membership is through self-nomination or nomination by another parishioner when Council vacancies are announced. The Council meets monthly, and each member is encouraged to serve as a liaison for other parish committees by attending their monthly meetings.

When God stops being our constant
companion when we are lonely,
and stops helping us to pull together
the broken pieces of our lives
when loved ones are taken from us,
then we can stop giving.
