The St. Lucie Parish Council is a group of leaders within the parish who assist the pastor in fulfilling the mission of St. Lucie Catholic Church. The council investigates, studies, and discusses matters of concern to the parish. It then forms practical responses to these matters. These practical responses are recommendations to the pastor and all final decisions rest with the him. Once satisfied with the recommendations, the pastor may request the council’s assistance with implementation. However, the responsibility of implementation lies with the pastor.
