Councils should be aware that canonically and historically, the Pastor is the individual who bears the ultimate responsibility for the parish. All decisions about the operation and direction of the parish need to carry his agreement and approval.
The Pastor leads the community by example, empowerment of others, appropriate delegation of authority, and participation in the Pastoral planning process.
The Parish Pastoral Council cannot meet as a consultative body without its Pastor.
