Parish Pastoral Council
The Diocese of Sacramento requires every parish to establish and maintain a parish pastoral council. The pastor identifies his parish pastoral council and presides over the council, which serves in an advisory capacity.
The parish pastoral council assists the pastor in serving the parish community by exploring the needs of the parish and responding appropriately. This is accomplished through prayer, listening, and dialogue. The pastor determines the size and membership of the council through a selection process of his discretion. Structure of the council is formalized through bylaws with an elected chairperson and a regular meeting schedule. To view the parish pastoral council guidelines, visit www.scd.org/diocese-sacramento/diocesan-mandated-councils. To contact the Parish Council, please email parishcouncil@stclareroseville.org.

My wife and I are parents of two children and we joined St. Clare in 2002. I continued as a Lector in 2004 and joined the Knights of Columbus in 2006. It's been an honor to receive a call to be a part of the Parish Council. I look forward to listening to our parishioners and bringing your praises and concerns to Fr. George Snyder, Jr.

Originally from New York, I became a St. Clare parishioner in 2015. Since then, I’ve been blessed to be a lector, a member of the Filipino Ministry, and a catechist for Confirmation for 3 years. I look forward to serving our wonderful parishioners as a resource to share their ideas with Fr. George.

About
My husband, Stanley Ho, and I have been dedicated parishioners of St. Clare since 1992, marking over three decades of commitment to our community here. Our family is deeply rooted in the parish; we are blessed with two daughters, seven grandchildren, and two more on the way.
Throughout my time at St. Clare, I have had the privilege of serving in various capacities. My past contributions include serving as the first Administrative Assistant in the parish office, assisting in the management of the religious education program, and actively participating as an Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister.
Presently, I volunteer my time assisting Father George as a ghostwriter and providing similar support to the Bishop on matters concerning sacred relics. It is a profound blessing to contribute to our parish and the broader Catholic community in these ways. I look forward to bringing the concerns and perspectives of our parishioners to the parish council.

My husband and I joined St. Clare in 2000. We are one of the founding families of our beautiful Church. Our two children grew up in this most blessed community, and have completed all of their sacraments at St. Clare. Our family's involvement includes supporting the following ministries: Faith Formation, MOMS, Children’s Liturgy, Altar Serving, Vacation Bible School, and Social Concerns. Fun Fact: We met Fr. George in 2005 while he was preparing for the priesthood.

My wife and I have only been at St. Clare since 2022. I belong to the Knights of Columbus Council at St. Clare, and I was the lead sacristan for the weekday Masses, but I will switch to the lead for the EMHC’s. I also help with the Social Concerns ministry.
