Parish Pastoral Councils

The Nineteenth Diocesan Synod of Pittsburgh in 2000 called for the establishment of a parish pastoral council in every parish in the diocese.  To facilitate the movement from parish to pastoral councils, the diocese prepared a set of Interim Guidelines, promulgated in 2007.  They were assessed a year and a half later.  Comments from those who had actually begun working toward the establishment of pastoral councils helped to shape the recently promulgated guidelines One Body, One Mission.
