Meet Our Parish Leadership Team
The Parish Leadership Team met in person on May 1.
All members were present: Joe Burianek, Irene Cervantes, Nkechi Mbanugo, Michael Murphy, Ray Palisoc, and Renee Samuelsen. Kathy Wickward, Parish Administrator and Finance Council representative, was also present.
Partners in the Gospel will require the Parish Leadership Team to be a strong community, so we spent a considerable amount of time in prayer of reflection on the Sunday’s Gospel. The team then elected Mike Murphy as the new chairperson.
Kathy gave an update on the Finance Council’s work on the 2024-2025 parish budget. The Parish Leadership Team’s role in the budget process is to help make sure the budget aligns with our parish’s priorities.
The Team spent time reflecting on what the new priests assigned to our parish family would need to know about St. John the Baptist Parish. Some time was also spent on reviewing the structure and many programs taking place in our parish, so we’ll be in a better position to help in the transition to Partners in the Gospel.
