Accountability is an essential activity of all PMTs.
The members need to determine on a regular basis the extent to which their activities are consistent with the PMTs specific mission. Seeking feedback from those who serve and are served is an important aspect of the program. Periodic review of activities will allow for change and development of a specific PMT and also will provide information that might be helpful for developing additional PMTs. They bear witness to the gifts of the Spirit. They exist for the edification of the Church.
