Advisory Council
The Advisory Council is a consultative body comprised of parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends that are responsible to the Director of the St. Lawrence Center, who is the administrator accountable to the Archbishop. The Advisory Council assists the Director through its vision of what the ministry is called to become in its life. This prayerful body consists of the visionaries called to guide the ministry in fulfilling its mission.
They are responsible for assisting the Director in assuring the progress of Catholic campus ministry including the development of policies, strategic planning, and evaluation of operations and key administrative personnel with respect to institutional advancement. General responsibilities include: establishing policy, strategic planning, program evaluation and advocacy.
They assist the Director in assessing the spiritual and temporal needs of the ministry. In doing this, the Advisory Council must be mindful of the ministry’s relationship with the diocesan Church, as well as the Church worldwide. They must also be equally conscious of the ministry’s responsibility to the civic as well as the global communities. They assist annually in establishing goals and objectives aimed at fulfilling the impact plan.
