Who are the Pastoral Council members?

The Pastoral Council is comprised of the Pastor, his parochial vicars and twelve lay members drawn from all aspects of the parish (representing the diversity of Saint Anne). The lay men and women are chosen by discernment (normally held in the Spring) to serve for up to three years. Each year four members rotate off Council as four new members are discerned on to it. New members bring fresh insights and new energy: this keeps the Council active, relevant, and focused on our diverse needs.

The current lay members are John Gonzalez(Chair), Joann Roach, Andy Bates, John Gonzales, Bob Merril, Jorge Trevino, Donald Anderson, Claire Mueller, Anita Murz, Rosario Beltran, Brent Gorman.

How can I contact the Pastoral Council?

Pastoral Council members can often be found in the courtyard or outside in the front of the church after most masses: each has a gold colored nametag indicating his/her name and their membership on the council. Messages may also be left for the Pastoral Council president at the church office, or e-mailed to Pastoral Council.
