Pastoral Council and Commissions

The Divine Providence Lithuanian Catholic Parish Pastoral Council complies with the spirit of the Second Vatican Council and the 1969 Detroit Archdiocesan Synod, in working together with the parish Pastor, Lithuanian Bishops Conference delegate for Lithuanians abroad, the South Oakland Vicariate and the Archdiocese of Detroit. The primary role of the Pastoral Council is to assist the Pastor in striving to grow together, as one in Christ, in charity, love and justice.The Pastoral Council determines the needs of the parish and its parishioners. Every year it defines parish objectives in compliance with the goals of the Archdiocese to ensure that the parish fulfills its spiritual and social mission. The Pastoral Council coordinates and approves the objectives and activities of the four Council Commissions which are responsible for the implementation of the outlined plans.Divine Providence Lithuanian Catholic Parish Pastoral Council consists of twelve members and the Pastor.
