St. Martin de Porres Parish Pastoral Council

The Parish Pastoral Council is the leadership body within the parish community and serves as an advisory group to the pastor. Its basic purpose is to set the broad direction for the parish. And to move from the parish from maintenance to ministry. It safeguards and promotes the unity of the parish family. All registered members of the parish are eligible for nomination, and may become council members upon invitation and personal reflection on God's calling.

Each council member serves on one
of the Commissions as a liaison with
the Council. The four Commissions are: Evangelization, Worship,  Education/Christian Faith Formation, 
and Christian Service. Parishioners
​are welcome to join any of the commissions and then join the Parish Council.

The Parish Finance Council is a service group to the parish. It plans, recommends and, with Parish Pastoral Council approval,  implements actions on parish financial support and the effective management and use of parish resources. These resources include parishioner's time, skills/talents, and monies that are raised or offered.

A subgroup of the Parish Finance Council is the Stewardship Awareness Committee. Membership is by invitation of the pastor. 

The Stewardship Awareness Committee is concerned with three broad areas: Education about stewardship; fostering an "attitude of gratitude"; and promoting Sacrificial giving of personal and parish resources.

PPC meetings are held monthly on
the first Tuesday of the month at
7:00 p.m. All parishioners are
welcome ​to attend.
