Council’s Mission Statement
We, the Church of Christ the King in Pleasant Hill, see ourselves as a Catholic community of faith gathered by the word of scripture, the celebration of the Eucharist and the gospel call to service.
We accept a common summons to grow as God’s people especially:
- as a community of welcome and participation marked by good communication, warm hospitality and openness to diversity
- as a people comforted and challenged by strong celebrations of liturgy thoughtfully prepared and well celebrated
- as strongly committed to faith formation and growth for all peoples and at all ages and stages of life
- as disciples of Jesus called to a rich variety of ministries both within our community and beyond its boundaries on behalf of the gospel values of Christian unity, service, compassion and justice.
The Council is made up of 12 parishioners, elected through parish wide nominations and balloting every other November (even years); they serve along with the pastor and two staff members who are selected by the full staff. The Council meets for a day and a half (Friday evenings through Saturday late afternoon) four to five times a year.
Its members are:
Marie Ascatigno, Frank Campanella, Tim Farley, Carl Feil, Sr. Joanne Gallagher, Mark Gotvald, Fr. Brian Joyce, Barbara Mader, Fr. Aidan McAleenan, Art Odom, Mary Ragsdale, Carol Riley, Sharon Spiller, George Vetek, Carol Young. |
