BRENNAN
WHEELING The Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston wants its members to have a voice in its present and future. To do that, the Most Rev. Mark Brennan, Diocesan bishop, has reestablished a group that will give laypeople that opportunity.
The Diocesan Pastoral Council is back and will hold its first meeting in nearly 15 years this month. Diocese spokesman Tim Bishop said the faithful deserve the chance to help move the church forward.
“You can’t go wrong involving the laypeople,” he said. “It’s their church, too. This is all of our church. The church belongs to all of the faithful, so getting them involved and seeking their help and running ideas by them is a great thing.”
