What is the purpose of the Prayer and Intercession Team in a parish?

In Unleash the Gospel, the Pastoral Letter from Archbishop Vigneron, it states that each Parish is to have a Prayer and Intercession Team. There are several purposes for an Intercessory Prayer Team. Primarily, the team will intercede for intentions of the Pastor, the leadership team and the vibrancy of the parish as a whole. This will include praying for the parishioners, programs, and evangelization initiatives as designated by the leadership team.
