About the Parish Council

The parish pastoral council is an institution that brings together lay people and religious who, together with their pastors, work jointly to build the parish as a living Christian community. Thus parish council members care about parish life in other communities of the diocese, share in the concerns of the Church universal, and strive to bring the Gospel message to all people and places in their neighbourhood.

Through relection, planning, animation and action, the parish pastoral council is the place where those ministries or services are brought forth that are needed for the growth of a living parish community.

This responsibility of the parish pastoral council does not take away from the continued mission and responsibility of the parish as a whole.
Each baptized parish member remains responsible in his or her own way for the mission of the parish. In this way, the parish pastoral council is a means for implementing better the responsibilities of the whole parish community.

Conservation Policy
Saanich Peninsula Parish

As a Christian community we recognize God has appointed us as stewards. We are responsible for the resources that the Creator has given us. We recognize the obligation to be prudent caretakers of our environment for our neighbours, heirs and ourselves. As a community, we will conserve our resources of water, energy, light and materials.

Reduce

When we need to make substantial repairs to our buildings we will, when and if feasible, strive to do so using the latest technology and environmentally friendly means. We will conserve our water resources and seek ways to limit the use of water in and around our buildings. We will seek ways to reduce our use of any non- recyclable products. We will be mindful of conserving energy and investigate and implement ways to reduce our use of electricity and fossil fuels.

Re-use

We will strive to use products from recyclable materials and which are environmentally friendly in all of our community related activities. We will endeavor to use washable eating utensils and dishware rather than the one use types.

Recycle

We will commit to a program of recycling material such as paper, plastics, glass, metal and compostable kitchen and garden waste
