The Parish Pastoral Council plans parish events, oversees ministry groups, and consults with Fr. Joe regularly. Below are brief bios to help you get to know the new members.

Laura Balach joined St. Charles in 2022 when she moved to Brooklyn Heights. She was previously a member of St. Boniface and has been thrilled to have found an equally warm and open community in our church. You will often see her in church with her daughter, Maren, who is an active participant in the Family Faith Formation program.
