Vision Council

The Vision Council is comprised of members from each of the three parishes, Holy Family, Queen of Apostles, and Our Lady of Carter Lake. The Vision Council establishes parish-wide goals, establishes policies and programs that foster the well-being of the parish and the community. It provides direction for the spiritual development of the three parishes, and meets at one of the three parishes on a rotating basis the first Monday of each month at 6:30pm. Please send us an email (carterlakechurch@juno.com) with your questions, concerns or suggestions.

• Enrich moral living by increasing people's knowledge level about morals, charity, and church teachings, offer opportunities that strengthen and/or encourage families and marriages
