Pastoral Council
Pastoral Council Members oversee, evaluate, and develop all areas of parish life: spiritual, pastoral and practical; responsible for setting pastoral goals and guiding parish activities.
We are looking for new members!
“St. Anthony Church is a parish where God’s love nourishes the soul to actively minister to people and share the joy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ” is our mission statement. The Pastoral Council serves to fulfill this mission. The council is a small group of parishioners, vetted by Father Gregory, who meet once a month during the academic year. Our work of late has been to foster community and engage parishioners. The council is currently seeking a few new members. If you are interested, please contact the Parish Center at 203-758-4056, ext 10. If you are unable to commit to participation on the council but have ideas/suggestions, please share them with Diana Veneri at veneridiana96@gmail.com.

The Pastoral Council meets on the third Monday of each month at 6:00 pm in the Parish Center
