AFFIRMATION STATEMENT for PARISH COUNCIL CANDIDATES

The role of the Parish Council is twofold. First is the management of the “business” aspect of St. Nicholas, ensuring the church has the resources to keep the lights on, so to speak. Second is the support provided to our priest allowing him to attend to the spiritual well-being of each parishioner. The Parish Council would not be fulfilling its obligations if either of these two areas of responsibility were not met.
