Parish Council

St. Mary’s Parish Council, through the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, acts as consultant to the Pastor by providing suggestions, recommendations, information, and guidance on important issues affecting parish life. The Council also helps to plan and coordinate many parish activities involving multiple ministries. Parishioners are encouraged to help shape the future of our church by attending these meetings and joining in the discussion on current parish issues.

The Council meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm in Monsignor Reinbold Hall in the basement of St. Mary's, Barnegat. Any changes to meeting times will be posted in the Parish Council Latest News section at the bottom of this page

Approved Meeting Minutes

Parish Council meeting minutes are posted here on our website AFTER they are approved by the council. Meeting minutes are approved at the following monthly meeting (i.e. February is approved at the March meeting). Therefore, the below minutes are always 1-month behind.
