In accordance with our new bylaws, a nomination committee has been formed. Fr. Dn. James and Mark Bunitsky comprise the committee. Please let them know if you are willing to serve or would like to nominate someone to serve on the council in addition to the names below. They will verify if the nominee and add them to the list.
