  USCCB - (FLWY) - Selecting Effective Pastoral Council Members
Pastoral councils are to be consultative in nature, a medium for communication, and models of cooperation and collaboration.

One way to hone the ability to assess potential pastoral council members, whether on the diocesan/eparchial or parish level, is to perform periodic self-assessments of current council members, examining the qualities that contribute to their effectiveness in fulfilling the council’s mission.
