St. Ignatius Parish strives to empower lay women and men with co-responsibility for leadership of parish life, and to develop parish leaders from our faith community. All parish ministries, programs, events, and activities are aligned within one of five Commissions:Administration , Community, Formation, Mercy & Justice, and Worship. These parishioner working groups are joined by at least one parish staff member. Nominations are now open for Commission roles; each term is three years, and the new term begins in June. The Administration Commission coordinates the practical affairs of the parish: how financial resources support the annual operating budget; how expenditures and investments are managed; how the church building is maintained; and how volunteers are supported within parish service and ministries. The Community Commission’s purpose is to build a deeper sense of Christian community for all who are a part of the parish; their scope includes creating welcoming and inclusive celebrations and events where parishioners can build lasting relationships. The Formation Commission supports all spiritual programming in the parish, for all stages of life; their role is to establish a comprehensive formation vision for the parish, to create the programs and activities within that vision, and to coordinate all groups and individuals involved in delivery of programs. The Mercy & Justice Commission exists to support those in need by creating, developing, and maintaining opportunities for parishioners to provide service, so that we may all be lights of Christ's love; our parish community is engaged in many ministries: pastoral care, homeless outreach initiatives, social justice advocacy, and much more. The Worship Commission gives direction to the liturgical life of the parish, by coordinating planning and preparation of the church environment for the various liturgical seasons and overseeing training and scheduling of liturgical ministers. Criteria for Parish Leadership Roles: A Commission member: - Represents the parish mission and core values - Is actively involved in a ministry or group within the parish - Is able to engage and support others in volunteer service to implement vision and plans - Is able and willing to regularly attend monthly Leadership Night (generally held on the second Tuesday of the month from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, for a three-year term) If you know someone in the Parish whom you believe has these leadership talents, or if you are interested in this opportunity to serve and would like additional information, please contact Gary Price, Director of Operations, at [email protected] or 422-2937. The parish leadership handbook is available on the parish website. Thank you!
