The Auxiliary is a group of women in the community committed to being the heart and hands of the Pastoral Institute. It strives to be the voice of our organization in the community, to assist us as we fulfill our mission and to provide programs promoting personal growth for women.

Membership
Membership is open to any woman desiring to serve. The Auxiliary holds a membership drive each fall, but welcomes new members throughout the year. The annual membership fee is $30. Membership terms run in 12 month cycles, but we're sure you will want to remain a part of this dynamic group for longer than a year!

Meetings
The Auxiliary meets seven times a year during the months of September, October, November, January, February, March and April.

Committees
There are six committees available for you to join and members are encouraged to join at least one:
