MISSION AND PARTICIPATION
About the Diocesan Pastoral Council
The Diocesan Pastoral Council is a vital institution that promotes
the active participation of the laity, encourages their co-responsibility
in the mission of the Church, and strengthens collaborative ministry
throughout the Diocese.
The Council is composed of Catholics, including members of the clergy,
religious institutes, and especially laypersons representing various
regions, social conditions, professions, and apostolates within the Diocese.
It should include individuals from all categories of Christ’s faithful
who are in full communion with the Catholic Church (cf. can. 205) and
are noted for their strong faith, good morals, and prudence (cf. can. 512 §3).
