Pastors' Advisory Council

The Pastors’ Advisory Council serves to review and offer feedback on Catholic Community Foundation initiatives. 

The Pastors’ Advisory Council (PAC) of the Catholic Community Foundation is comprised of 20 pastors representing a diverse Catholic population, both geographically and socioeconomically. This group of committed clergy meets two or three times a year to review Catholic Community Foundation initiatives and then offers feedback to its executive director, staff, and board of directors.
