"The Pastoral Council’s task is to give counsel and seek consultation.
 1. Good counsel is the result of full, holistic, and active consultation. Thus, the members of this group, along with the pastor, are called to reflect and consider pastoral issues for the common good and for the future. Their role is to understand, to reflect carefully and prayerfully and to seek consensus."
