Family 17 Pillars

Through the efforts of the Road to Renewal, committees - called Pillars - have been set up to help guide Parish Families to respond to God's continued call for growth and conversion.

Each Pillar:

• Requires an on-going (year-round) commitment of each member.
• Should contain between 7-10 members.
• Consist of at least one representative from each parish.
• Should meet minimally once a month or more depending on the current activity.
