Bellarmine Chapel Advisory Committee Nomination Form
Bellarmine Chapel Advisory Committee Purpose: The Advisory Committee pays attention to the spirit and quality of life within our parish as a whole. The committee brings together 10-12 members from the parish who engage in a regular discernment process that keeps our community faithful to the message of Jesus. The committee considers current needs, pastoral priorities, long-range plans, and other strategic issues that affect the parish. Meetings are monthly, and members are typically appointed for three-year terms. From time to time, a need may arise to form a working group to focus attention on some particular aspect of parish life. For the most part, however, the Advisory Committee operates as a whole and on the basis of prayerful reflection. In this way, the committee contributes to the overall quality of our parish community.
