The Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) has identified the need for a focused New Parishioner Ministry at St. Gerard’s.

Our goal is to create an active ministry designed to welcome, support, orient, gather parishioner information, provide guidelines, and eventually place new parishioners into a suitable parish ministry.

Initially, John Crerar will act as facilitator for the group along with PPC member Ellen Armstrong, until the ministry is established. Ministry Leaders are asked for a volunteer from your group to join this endeavor or join yourself.

We want to have a new program and ministry up and running by the time we are back to normal operation, post Covid. We are moving purposefully towards this goal. Any interested parishioner should contact John Crerar (see Contact Us on this page).

MAY 2021 UPDATES

Current Projects

We are currently involved with updating our parishioner database. As well, we are working to update and revise our Parishioner Welcome Program (see above article), which we aim to have available once Covid restrictions are removed and the parish is back to normal operations.

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, we, the Parish Pastoral Council, exist to collaboratively serve the Lord, His Church and St. Gerard's Parish community through prayer, consultation, ministry and evangelization to invigorate and challenge the Laity in their daily lives and to help revitalize and grow our faith community.                                                                                            Adopted March 2019
