The function of parish committees is to assist the pastoral Council and staff with the work of the Parish within a specific area. A committee is an ongoing, long-term group. Sub-committee may be formed to allow for division of labor or responsibilities within a specific area. Task forces may be created from time to time with a specific, time-limited charge. When the task is accomplished, the group is disbanded.
