III. ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT

While the oversight for diocesan and parish institutions flows from the Archbishop to the Pastor as described in the Revised Code of Canon Law, this is done within the framework of collaboration with many individuals and consultative groups. In a Regional School, the decision making process moves from broad to specific and is entrusted to various groups and person.

St. Mary School functions within the framework of the Grays Harbor Catholic Faith Community. Pastor, Principal, School Commission, Room Parents, and a variety of other groups collaborate in the various ministries of the Faith Community, which includes the school. Faith Community governance is based on the Archdiocesan publication, You Are the Branches: Policy and Guidelines for Parish Consultative Structures.
