Closer to the Front We ask everyone to kindly take seats closer to the front when you come to Mass. The vast majority of our parishioners sit in the last 5 or 6 pews, leaving the front almost completely empty. Pastoral Council The role of the pastoral council is to work with Fr. Ernie and Deacon Gerry in determining and organizing the pastoral life of our faith community. Several members of the council have recently resigned from the council for health and work reasons. We invite others to volunteer to serve. Unlike the Board of Wardens where members must reside in the geographical territory of St. Edward’s, membership in the pastoral council has no geographical restrictions. If you are interested, please speak with Fr. Ernie. Supplies for Haiti
