MINISTRIES: PARISH LIFE

Immaculate Conception Parish
North Easton, Massachusetts

Finance Council
The Finance Council is an advisory board to the pastor regarding financial matters that concern the parish. The council is required to meet quarterly, however, can be convened as necessary when called by the pastor. A strong background in finance is essential. Members are appointed by the pastor and serve for a length of time determined by the pastor.

Fundraising Committee
The fundraising committee considers ways to meet the increasing financial needs of the parish. The objective is to acquire needed revenue while at the same time contributing to the social aspect of our parish community. Volunteers are responsible for organizing events and setting up subcommittees to facilitate the success of the events. Meetings are scheduled as needed. We welcome energetic, creative men and women with an interest in organizing and implementing fundraising activities and events.

Parish Council
The Parish Council is a consultative body which assists the pastor and serves as a planning board for the parish. A total of fifteen active, registered parishioners serve: ex officio members; elected members (for two year terms); appointed members (for a one year term). Nominations are requested from all members of the parish in April. Elections and appointments are in May. The council meets monthly from September through June.

Public Relations
The Public Relations Ministry is responsible for gathering interesting news and information regarding on-going activities, up-coming events and announcements of significant accomplishments of those in our church family. A brief write-up would be put together and published in our church bulletin, on our web site and in local newspapers. We welcome all interested members of our parish community who may have experience or interest in communications and photography.

Stewardship Committee
The Stewardship Committee looks at ways we can all incorporate “Stewardship As A Way of Life” into our already busy and demanding schedules. We are committed to finding ways in which to illustrate, to our parish family, how each of us might use our particular gifts and talents to the betterment of our church community. The committee focuses on distributing information that enables all of us to share our time, talent and treasure as disciples of the Lord as we support and nurture each other on our faith journey. Meetings are held monthly from September through June. We welcome members of our parish who are interested in facilitating stewardship as a way of life.
