Pastoral Council and Commissions
We have a vibrant community of parishioners who take active roles in every aspect of our mission. Here are some who are active in our Pastoral Council and our Commissions. (Commissions focus on particular aspects of our mission, and Pastoral Council focuses on the parish as a whole.)

Carl Greiner, Co-Chair
Carl Greiner and his wife Laura have been members of College Church for about 10 years. They have three adult children and a granddaughter. When their sons were attending SLUH they became inspired by Jesuit faith formation. They enjoyed the Social Ministry and Adult Faith Formation offered through College Church.
Martha Daly
Martha joined the Council in 2021, and is honored to serve in this capacity. She graduated from Dominican University in River Forest, IL, and has been a member of College Church for about 17 years. She is also on the Pastoral Care Commission, volunteers for the Social Outreach ID and birth certificate program, and is a Eucharistic minister both at SFX and at St. Louis University hospital. She has a daughter, three grandchildren and most recently a great-granddaughter. Martha is also an avid golfer. What is most intrinsically life-giving she believes are the challenges, perspectives and comforts that Ignatian spirituality brings. “It is the heart and soul of our parish…who we are and who we always strive to be.”

Winnie Sullivan
Winnie Sullivan has attended St. Francis Xavier (College) Church, on and off, for years, since having been a graduate student at St. Louis University. Three years ago, she decided it was time to become a parishioner, as she was being undeniably drawn by the relevance and power of the homilies and by the beauty of the liturgies. She began, in January of 2020, to serve as a member of the Pastoral Council. In addition to that commitment, she also co-chairs the Antiracism Team, is a member of the Racism and Reconciliation Committee, and a member of our wonderful choir. She looks forward to realizing the Beloved Community as a member of the College Church parish family.
