Peer Ministry Council
The 2011 Peer Ministry Council (PMC)
The Peer Ministry Council is made up of several student leaders who help make decisions and chart the path to be taken by the Wake Forest Catholic Community. These student leaders are selected by the community on Transition Night.
President
Sarah Councill: Vice President
Kathleen Hill: Hello, all! My name is Kathleen Hill, and I'm a senior at Wake this year (I can't believe how fast the years fly by). I'm from Tampa Florida. I'm majoring in English, and I hope to go to graduate school for library science in the hopes of becoming an archivist or librarian. I love travel, coffee, and photography.
The Catholic Community at Wake Forest has helped keep me centered all these years in many different ways, whether through the fantastic retreats and volunteer opportunities, through the weekly fellowship at Wednesday night dinners and Girls' Night, or simply through Mass itself on Sundays. Come join us and see what we're all about.

I love biking. If you have a bike, I'm down to ride whenever! I also enjoy hiking, frisbee, oh and eating! If you ever need anything, someone to talk to, I am always here for you. We will grow closer to Jesus and His all powerful love together.

Leaders are not elected through a democratic process, but are instead affirmed by the community through a showing of hands, after a time of prayer. This event, called Transition Night, is open to all and is a powerful testament to the power of prayer and community discernment.
All are invited to participate in the Peer Ministry Council meetings which are usually held on Wednesdays after Community Dinner (generally 7:15-7:45pm) in the Lounge. Keep checking the web calendar for scheduled meetings.
