The Purpose of the Pastoral Council (as defined by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Parish Pastoral Council Norms – see archmil.org for copy of documents) Click here for the QOA Appendix:

1. To be a vehicle for the parish to fulfill the pastoral mission of Jesus and the Church of Queen of Apostles. This is done by developing Catholic identity, promoting evangelization and fostering stewardship.

2. To strive to build a community of disciples who recognize their baptismal calls to lives of holiness, witness and service.

3. To engage a continuous process of pastoral planning, which takes into account the needs and priorities of its parishioners, the Archdiocese, the broader community and the world.
