A 1978 photograph of the Parish Advisory Board of the Our Lady Help of Christians Roman Catholic Church, Lykens, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
The Parish Advisory Board makes recommendations to the pastor in matters pertaining to the needs of the church and parish. It endeavors to assess the sentiment of the people on questions concerning the operation of parish affairs, and to convey this sentiment to the pastor. Through the advisory bard, the priest is able to maintain a closer contact with the parishioners and to have some knowledge of their goals and attitudes.
Members of the Board (left to right): Robert Bowman; Thomas Nestor; Marguerite Hoffman; Dr. Lewis Hoffman; Father Bernard McGinley; Mary Coury; Catherine Bowman; Daniel Coury; Robert Nestor.
