Selection Process
The Diocese of Gary uses a discernment process with open nominations to select Council Members.
The steps to the process are:
1. Formation- of the parishioners about the purpose of the Pastoral Council.
2. Open Nominations- an invitation to all of the parishioners to consider sharing their gifts with the Pastoral Council.
3. The Discernment Process- those who accept the nomination are required to attend two evenings of orientation and an evening of discernment
4. The Selection- of the members can be made through a full discernment or by the drawing of “lots”, at the Sunday Liturgy.
