Parish Pastoral Council

We are pleased to share that a new Parish Pastoral Council has been formed at Saint Anne Catholic Church. 

We would like to begin by expressing our sincere gratitude to all who have previously served on our Parish Council. Your time and efforts have been greatly appreciated. 

The purpose of a Parish Pastoral Council is to prayerfully discern the needs of the parish, offer guidance and support to the pastor, and help shape a vision for the spiritual and communal life of our faith community. Rooted in collaboration and listening, the Council serves as a bridge between parish leadership, staff and parishioners, offering insights and ideas that help us grow together in faith, service, and mission.

The goal of this newly established Council is to:

• Deepen parish engagement and participation
• Support long-term planning and renewal
• Foster open communication across all areas of parish life
• Reflect the diversity and gifts of our parish community
• Foster a spirit of responsibility, excellence and accountability among all who serve the parish

One of the first initiatives the Council is taking on is "Re-Ignite Saint Anne: Honoring the Past. Building the Future,” a parish-wide effort to listen to your hopes, ideas, and concerns through an upcoming parish survey. The insights gathered will help shape priorities and guide our next steps as a faith community.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll hear more from each of the Parish Pastoral Council members—through brief announcements at Mass and across our parish communication channels. We invite you to pray for them, support their work, and most importantly, participate in this important moment of renewal by sharing your voice in the survey.

Together, let us re-ignite the spirit of Saint Anne and move boldly into the future anchored in faith, guided by love, and inspired by the Holy Spirit. 

Our new Parish Pastoral Council members are:

• Chair: Adam Marshall 
• Accountability: Chris Cocoma and Dave Meehan
• Faith Formation: Lia Douglas and Joe McGinn 
• Community Building: Hayde Federighi and Dan Haas
• Social Justice: Charlie Rath and Maggie Hanley
• Prayer and Worship: Fr. Rodolfo and Lois Wollney
   

Thank you and God Bless,
Fr. John Trout, Pastor at Saint Anne Catholic Church
