Committee Structure
Sacred Heart is animated and administered through various
committees that report to an elected Parish Pastoral Council.
Each committee includes some members of the Council, and covers
one aspect of the total life of the parish. If you are
interested in the work of one of the committees, please use the
contact information where it is provided, or contact the parish
office.

Executive Committee includes the pastor and the officers of the
Parish Pastoral Council. This committee prepares agenda for the
Council, moderates its proceedings, and oversees its elections.
The Parish Life Committee
The
Parish Life Committee offers their time and talent in the
ministry of hospitality, arranging and taking care of parish

works of charity and social justice. Among their ministries are

surface opportunities for adult religious education.
