We
of the Divine Providence Lithuanian Parish strive to be an open, welcoming and
caring Catholic community of believers who are called to share, renew and grow
in our faith, love of God and one another.
Because we are an ethnic parish, we strive to preserve our Lithuanian
heritage by promoting the use of the Lithuanian language in the church liturgy
and supporting Lithuanian cultural, educational and social activities in the
adjacent
How Does the
Parish Function
The
pastor is the administrator and the shepherd who acts as a spiritual leader,
guiding his fold according to the teachings of Christ. He is assisted by the pastoral council. The main goal of the council is to strive to
put into practice what the Church is called to do -- to grow together, as one
in Christ, in charity and love. To
achieve this goal, the council and the pastor assess the needs of the parish
and formulate more specific objectives, which are carried out in an organized
and systematic way through four working groups or committees: Education, Christian Service, Stewardship
(Administration), and Worship. Although
the council and pastor work together in accomplishing the set goals and
objectives, the final responsibility rests with the pastor.
Including
the pastor, the parish council consists of members who are a cross-section of
the parish and who adequately represent the views of the entire parish.
