A copy of the Nomination Form can be found here. You can print the page or copy it to your WordPad and then print. There will also be copies of the form at church and a box where you can place your nominations. You may also place your nominations in the collection basket.

From this nominated group of people, our new parish council will emerge. We have parishioners with many gifts and talents, so prayerfully consider what you believe our parish needs are at this time and which parishioners can fill those needs.
