On April 27, 2014, Father Aloy Commissioned the Saint Stephen new Parish Pastoral Council.  The  Council is a consultative body that assists the pastor to determine the priorities and direction of the parish, establish new ministries, and give direction to existing ministries within the context of the diocesan and parish five year plan. In addition to doing long-range planning and plan implementation monitoring, the council members deal with whatever pastoral concerns the pastor brings before them. The council serves to relay concerns of the parish to the pastor and attempts to improve and foster communication to and from the pastor.
