Seeking Nominations for Parish Council

The Our Lady of Fatima Parish Pastoral Council consists of ten parishioners appointed by the Pastor to serve on the Council. The role of the Council is to serve in an advisory capacity to the Pastor, and particularly to promote parish religious and social activities, as well as goodwill between the parish and the community-at-large. The Council meets monthly (except December) on the first Tuesday evening of each month. Meetings are currently being held by video-conference because of the pandemic. Five persons are appointed on alternating years to serve a two-year term. Appointments to the Council become effective no later than February 1st of each year.

Parishioners are encouraged to submit nominations for the five positions on the Council that will become available in the new year. To be considered, a nominee must be a registered parishioner of Our Lady of Fatima Parish. Nominees should have the time, talent, and interest to serve on the Council. A parishioner may nominate themselves or someone else for a position on the Council. Parishioners may nominate more than one person. If you would like to serve on the Parish Pastoral Council or know of someone you would like to nominate, please submit your nomination to the Parish Office or to a current member of the Parish Council. Current members of the Council include: Gloria Hernandez, Stephen Jimenez, Joann Lucero, Roger Martinez, Carlos Pacheco, Barbara Posler, Jeff Reed, Gertrude Vicenti, LaVonne Yazzie.

The Council will provide a list of nominees to the Pastor by December 1st, and he will appoint the new Council members. The Pastor is also free to consider candidates who are not on the list of nominees. The names of nominees or other candidates will not be publicly announced unless they are selected for one of the available positions on the Council.
