How Decisions are Made
At St. Leo, the life of the parish is structured around the following eight commissions:
- Ecumenical and Interfaith
- Facilities
- Liturgy
- Pastoral Care
- Social Justice
- Stewardship
- Faith Formation
- Food Connection
If you have an initiative you want to propose in any area of the parish, bring your idea to the appropriate commission chairperson or staff member. The chair will put your idea on the commission’s agenda for the commission to consider in a timely fashion. Once the staff liaison learns of your initiative through the commission process, she or he will then relate your idea or initiative to the pastoral staff at its weekly meeting. Since the staff is aware of all of the initiatives coming forward in the parish, the staff liaison can help the commission view their proposed initiative in light of the larger picture, the whole life of the parish.
The process for moving an initiative from idea form to action is the following: the appropriate commission will research, review and reflect on a course of action that is consistent with our Five Year Plan and Mission and Vision Statement. After collaboration with the Pastor,Pastoral Staff, other appropriate commissions and the Pastoral Council, the commission then makes a decision by consensus on a course of action.
