Parish Council\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Parish Council represents the St. Thomas Aquinas Community and advises the pastor in teaching, prayer, community and sacraments so that people are empowered to fulfill Christ\u2019s mission.\u00a0 The term of service for all members is three years and is limited to two consecutive terms. However, members who are officers (president, vice-president, and secretary) serve two years in the officer role with an additional year as a regular member.\u00a0 Parishioners are welcome to attend any Parish Council meeting by first sending a request to either the Parish Council president or the Parish Office.\u00a0 Parish Council meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every other month at 7 p.m. in the Parish Center Conference Room.<\/p>\n

Contact: Patrick Price, President (parishcouncil@staindy.org<\/a><\/span>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please call the parish office at 317-253-1461 for the email or phone contact information of any parish council member.<\/p>\n
