Who we are:
_ The family is the principal school of the social virtues
which are necessary to every society…it is therefore above all in the Catholic
family…that children should be taught to know and worship God and to love their
neighbor…Parents should therefore, appreciate how important a role the truly Catholic
family plays in the life and progress of the whole people of God.
This commission is concerned with those matters that build an internal family spirit and improve Catholic family life.
It is to help parish family members to develop a deeper understanding of and commitment to their respective roles. This includes programs of concern and support for single persons including the widowed, divorced and separated, as well as single parent families.
It is also concerned with those matters that help to build parish family community.
This commission identifies and coordinates the social and recreational needs of the parish, maintains an annual calendar of scheduled events to give to the Evangelization/Communication Commission, and suggests and institutes programs of welcome for new parishioners.
It must prepare, carry out, and evaluate a yearly action plan based on the long range goals set by the parish pastoral council (in conjunction with all the commissions) as part of the parish pastoral plan. It evaluates its activities especially social, ministerial, and recreational projects as to their effectiveness for community growth; it institutes procedures to increase involvement of parishioners in planned parish activities.
It is responsible to prepare and propose to the parish council an annual budget for those supplies, equipment, and expenses necessary to carry out its action plan.
