Finance Council
- Church Law (Canon 537) requires each parish to have a Finance Council. The Council assists the rector in administrating the finances and physical assets of the parish. At St. John's, the Finance Council works closely with the Parish Pastoral Council. Parishioners volunteer for membership or are appointed by the rector. Parishioners are encouraged to attend monthly meetings.
Liturgy Committee
- The Liturgy Committee is a team of parish members dedicated to enhancing our liturgies. Ministry schedules and training for the Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Altar Servers and ushers are coordinated through this committee. Members meet once a month to plan the various liturgies, seasonal themes, decorations and environment of the cathedral. The council also works to implement new liturgy policies and guidelines from the Diocese of Boise and our Bishop.
- The council consists of those in charge of the various liturgical ministries of the parish, the Director of Music, the Liturgy Leadership Pastoral Coordinator and representatives from the parish and school.
Advisory Groups
- These groups of parishioners for advisory bodies to help the staff and clergy better serve our parishioners.
Comité Hispano
- This group gathers once a month to plan activities within the Spanish speaking community and provide advice and ideas to staff and clergy on growing and expanding this ministry.
Ministry Leaders
- Three to four times a year the leaders of all ministries in the parish gather with the rector to learn from each other, provide input and form themselves as better leaders.
Safety and Security
- This ministry aims to support a safe and secure environment for parishioners to worship and parish staff to serve. It consists of volunteers who are willing to step up and serve as a first responder in the event of an incident at a parish event. Some training is required to deal with specific situations, but it’s worthwhile as it helps to maintain a safe environment for all.
