Parish Council / Commissions

PARISH COUNCIL/FINANCE COMMITTEE

         The Parish Council oversees the overall direction of the parish. Working with the Pastor, members of the Parish Council serve as an advisory body in helping to guide the work of the various commissions and parish organizations. Their role is to ensure that our parish is focusing its energy on doing the "right things" rather than being concerned about doing things the right way. Members of the Parish Council keep in contact with the members of the other commissions as well as members of the entire parish. Their role is to keep their eyes and ears open to get a sense of what's happening in the parish.

         The Parish Council  is also charged with overseeing all financial and administrative matters to ensure the smooth operation of the parish. Among their tasks are overseeing the well-being and maintenance of all parish buildings and property, reviewing and approving all physical changes to parish buildings and parish properties, conducting the yearly parish lottery, renewing bulletin and newsletter ads, conducting the annual Catholic Parishes Campaign (CPC) and reviewing the financial status of the parish as well as preparing the annual parish budget.   Members of the Parish Council meet twice a year and as needed. People interested in being a part of the Parish Council can contact the  the Parish Office 812-962-3273

       The function of the St. Joe Parish School Board is to serve as an advisory body to the School Principal and to assist the Principal in planning and operating the school and formulating policies based on the needs of the students and school families.
