The Pastoral Advisory Council advises Father Ray on projects and activities for the overall good of St. John Francis Regis Church and St. John’s School. It also helps promote and grow the parish community in a spirit of openness and inclusiveness. Council members may be nominated by Father Ray or by any parish member in good standing, or they may nominate themselves. Nominees must be at least 18 years old, a registered parishioner here and a Catholic in good standing. There will be at least six openings on the council at the end of July for three-year terms. Call the rectory at 301-373-2281 to nominate someone to Father Ray, or for more information.
