PASTORAL COUNCIL
The Pastoral Council is a collection of representatives from all three churches that comprise the Catholic Community of Gonzales and Waelder. Pastoral Council members are selected by the pastor based on their involvement within the Catholic Community and their knowledge of the working of other ministries. On the Council there are three representatives from each of our churches along with our three deacons. Pastoral Council members are often involved in various other ministries as they serve as a voice of the people in planning the spiritual direction of our Catholic Community and serve as an advisory council to the pastor.

SPIRITUAL DIRECTORS
Spiritual direction is widespread in the Catholic tradition: a person with wisdom and spiritual discernment, usually but not exclusively a priest or consecrated in general, provides counsel to a person who wishes to make a journey of faith and discovery of God's will in his life.

FINANCE COUNCIL
The Finance Committee is a collection of representatives from all three churches that comprise the Catholic Community of Gonzales and Waelder. Finance Committee members are chosen by the pastor based on their life experience and knowledge and thus their ability to ensure that the monetary gifts of the people are used in the best way possible to provide for the physical and spiritual needs of the Catholic people within the Community. The goal of the Finance Committee is to always be good stewards of the gifts of the people.

CEMETERY COMMITTEE
A group of laypersons, along with the pastor, who meet regularly to maintain and see to the needs of the Gonzales Catholic Cemetery. This committee is responsible for the rules of the cemetery and for scheduling regular maintenance of the cemetery. Their goal is to ensure the cemetery is a place of beauty and dignity for the resting place of the faithful departed and for their living loved ones who visit to pray for the deceased. Annually the cemetery committee hosts the All Souls Day mass which is celebrated in the evening on the cemetery grounds. During this mass all the faithful departed are remembered and graves are blessed.
