Like minded Catholics needed

[FrancisBenedict]

Maybe nobody else wants to sit on a ‘chair’ at committee meetings caught in an administrative web,
but you might have more response if you said ‘let’s go feed the hungry & help the poor’?

The way my parish fills the Pastoral Council is to put a nomination box in the concourse for people to nominate themselves or others. Since Council members have meetings with the priests, people feel privileged to serve. We always get more nominations than the vacancies available. The Pastor picks whom to be the new Council members. We serve for two years and automatically step out; therefore, usually there are two to three vacancies each year and they are filled with competition.

Like anything else, it will make a difference if the Pastor says something to the congregation, explaining the time and duties involved, and give an invitation.
