Parish Commissions and Organizations
St. John Paul II Parish structure is divided into 7 commissions: Christian Service, Faith Formation, Parish Life,
School, Spiritual Life and Evangelization, Stewardship and Youth Ministry. The Parish Pastoral Council oversees the
7 commissions and assists the pastoral team in charting a vision and stewarding the parish. This listing includes a
mention of “Spiritual Gifts Helpful.” This is a listing for those who have taken the spiritual gifts course. These are not
requirements to be involved in that ministry.

The Christian Service Commission
meets every other month to oversee current projects, programs and to develop

The St. Joseph the Worker program realizes that at times our own parishioners
need help. It might be an older parishioner who can no longer keep up his/her
yard; it might be someone experiencing
an illness who needs a job done to help
them cope with their changing life. Whatever the need, the St. Joseph the Worker
Crew helps them get their life back in
order.
St. John Paul II helps staff the Community Kitchen in Jeffersonville every other
Tuesday. Our team helps prepare and
serve a meal to those who struggle from
food scarcity.
