The Parish Pastoral Council of Holy Spirit Parish is a group of church members selected by the members of the parish to consult with the pastor in carrying out the mission and plans for the life of the parish. The PCC:

• Works in a spirit of prayer, leadership and service.
• Seeks to listen to the Holy Spirit in discerning what is best for the parish.
• Encourages a climate in which people can speak with openness and love.
• Develops and updates parish pastoral plans and priorities for the future.
• Regularly reviews the parish mission statement.
• Listens to parishioners to identify key needs and concerns.
• Evaluates progress in achieving the parish pastoral plan and related goals.

Nominations and elections for PCC are held each September. All who seek election are asked to consider a three year term of office to balance the needs for new member and new ideas while maintaining continuity within the group.
