Parish Council Request
Do you participate in a group or ministry within our parish? If so, the Parish Pastoral Council would like to hear from you. As we begin a new liturgical year, the St. Joachim’s Pastoral Council is trying to identify the various ministries currently operating within the parish so they can learn more about what you do, what support you need, and how they can further leverage your ministry to enrich our worship.
