2 St. Mary Parish Council Constitution Delaware, Ohio Preamble We, members of St. Mary Parish, Delaware, Ohio, in union with the Parish Staff under the leadership of our Pastor and in union with our Bishop and the Holy Father, declare ourselves willing to accept the mission of our Lord Jesus Christ and hereby join together to form a Parish Council, pledging our cooperation to all. Article I-Organization and Name This organization shall be known as the St. Mary Parish Council, Delaware, Ohio. Article II-Purposes and Functions The purpose of the Parish Council is to advise and assist the Pastor in matters of importance to the Parish, recognizing that the Pastor is the only and final authority in same. In furtherance of this purpose, the Council will endeavor to discern needs of the Parish, assist the Pastor in prioritizing and setting goals accordingly, and assist the Pastor and other entities of the Parish in accomplishing the goals for the benefit of the Parish. Article III-Membership of Council Council shall consist of twelve (12) at-large members, each with one vote; and a number of ex officio members to be determined by the Pastor, each with no voting authority. The officers of Council shall be selected from among the at-large members. The selection of all Members shall be in accordance with this Constitution. Section A: Eligibility Requirements of At-Large Members An at-large member must be at least 18 years of age; must have received the Sacrament of Confirmation; may not be an ex officio member of the same Council; and must be a registered and active member of St. Mary
3 Parish, Delaware, Ohio. Section B: Ex Officio Members Ex officio members of council include the Pastor, Associate Pastor, and such other members of the St. Mary Parish or School staff, paid or unpaid, that the Pastor appoints as ex officio members. Ex officio members have no voting powers. Each year, a member of the St. Mary Spanish speaking community shall be appointed an ex officio member. Section C: Terms of Membership Each at-large term shall be for a period of three years. All terms for at-large council members shall begin on July 1 st of the year a member was selected, through June 30 th of the last year of the term. Ex-officio members shall continue to serve on the Council at the will of the Pastor. Section D: Selection of Members Between April 1 and May 31 of each year, any person may submit, in writing, to any member of Parish Council, a nomination of any person for appointment to the Council. The nomination shall include identifying and contact information, any other information the nominator deems useful to consideration of the application, and shall be signed by the nominee if different from the nominator. Current Council members whose terms will expire must similarly reapply if seeking another term. The receiving member of Council shall promptly forward any such nominations to the Secretary of Council. Prior to the June meeting, the President shall review the nominations for eligibility and shall present them to Council in June. Council shall then select the number needed to fill expiring terms and submit the nominees to the Pastor for appointment to the next term of Council. If the Pastor does not approve a candidate, Council shall submit additional candidates until the proper number are approved and appointed by the Pastor. Section E: Resignation, Removal, Filling Vacancies Any Member may resign at any time by submitting a resignation document in writing to the Council President or Pastor.
4 If a member notifies the Council Secretary or President prior to a meeting that he or she will be absent, such absence is excused. If a member accrues three or more unexcused absences during a twelve month period, or if a Member indulges in scandalous behavior, the Pastor or Council President may recommend removal. If Council concurs by at least a three-fourths majority, such member shall be removed and notified of same in writing. Vacancies of unexpired terms of at-large members will be filled by appointment of the Council President, with the Pastor s approval, with the term beginning upon notification and expiring on June 30 th of the term they are filling.
