The Pastoral Council is a team of parishioners who, with the Parish Team, promote the life and mission of our Parish. It offers advice to the Parish Priest and Parish Team on ways to foster action inspired by Jesus Christ and promotes action to build up the Parish as a community of Disciples sharing the mission of Jesus. 

The Pastoral Council carries out its task by:

• Prayerfully reflecting on the needs of the parish and discerning emerging future needs.
• A listening and receptive attitude to fellow parishioners, to call forth the gifts of others.
• Being a link between the various parish groups and the Parish Team.
• Being open to their personal ongoing faith formation.  

Membership:

The Pastoral Council aims to reflect the different cultures, ages, genders and gifts of the parish. 

Council usually consists of the Parish Team plus 8 – 12 members and the School Principals.

Membership is for a 2-year term. After 2 consecutive terms Council members should be given a break.

To meet particular needs of the parish, other persons can be co-opted to work with the Council. 

If you think you could bring an enthusiasm for helping to coordinate initiatives and events within the life of the parish, get in contact with one of the current members, or anyone on the Parish Team to talk about how you could become involved.
