The Pastoral Council provides guidance to the pastor on pastoral matters. They normally meet on the 2nd Monday of each month at 6:00 PM in the rectory. All members are requested to attend.
This council is partially made up of the members of the Transition Team, a group of people selected by Fr. Joseph and Fr. Ray, charged with the responsibility of guiding the merger of St. Gertrude the Great and St. John the Baptist parishes into the one St. Michael the Archangel parish. Fr. Lance Campo decided that the members of this group will serve on either the Pastoral or Finance/Facilities Council until the time is right for a nomination and election process.
Electiions were held the third week of May, 2025. Per our by-laws, two Pastoral Council members, Danny Ledet & Blake Nauin, were elected and one, Mary Sandolph, was appointed by Fr. Lance.
Elections will be held every year in May. After each election is completed, three existing members will roll off of the council and the two elected and one appointed new members will begin serving their three year term.
