Our parish is a corporation established by the Archbishop of Baltimore. In addition to the corporate officers of the Archbishop, Vicar Bishop and our pastor, two parish members serve as corporators and many parishioners make up our Parish Council. Our parish conforms to all laws and rules promulgated by the Archbishop of Baltimore and the universal law of the Church as promulgated in Canon Law.

Our Principals of Governance sets forth the Parish Goals that guide the planning and operation of the parish. Like all other statements that define our identity, they have been developed over time as a collegial enterprise of our pastor and our parishioners.

PARISH GOALS

• Maximize communication within and beyond the parish community.
• Deepen and nurture the spirit and vitality of parish life and community.
• Raise the level of faith formation and education for all parishioners.
• Implement strategies to strengthen the long-term financial stability of the parish.
• Expand community ownership of our service and outreach ministries, a core element of our parish life.
• Expand and energize the participation of young people in all areas of the parish life.

The Pastoral Council has developed the following goals to give focus for the upcoming year:

1. Provide support and assistance to the Parish Staff and parishioners during the transition of Pastoral Leadesrship.
2. To improve and enhance communication, both internal and external, among Pastoral Council, Parish Staff, Committees, and Parishioners.
3. To build depth and leadership within all Committees, and identify participating members of each Committee
