Advisory Bodies

The different advisory bodies assist the pastor in the administration of the parish by their wise advice and suggestions on matters that affect the well-being of the parish. Saint Rita of Cascia has various advisory bodies, but four of these bodies are important in shaping the direction of the parish: the Pastoral and Finance Councils (which are canonically mandated), Stewardship Commission, and the Hispanic Commission. Key parish personnel and all the parish priests are ex-officio members of the councils and commissions.
