In seeking to respect each other and share this practice with parishioners, our Parish Council members have developed these Expectation Guidelines to use as they serve our parish family.
These guidelines were approved in December 2017 to be used in the administration of our Archdiocese, Metropolises, and Parishes. Use this link to view.
Our Parish Council seeks to follow these guidelines offered by our Metropolis of Atlanta. Use this link to view.
