Since we have become a Mission parish, we are delighted that we have one combined Parish Pastoral Council, whose members meet regularly across the year to discuss each Community's needs.

The Bulletin regularly provides information about the meetings held by the PLT and their work.

The role of the Parish Pastoral Council is to promote the Church’s mission to communicate the love and values of Christ in our world. It works together with parishioners and parish ministries to provide support for their efforts to follow Christ.

The following summarizes what the Parish Pastoral Council does:

In order to fulfil its role, the Parish Pastoral Council will:

• support the work of the Parish Priest in the day to day administering of the sacramental duties; 

• search out and respond to the hopes, ideas, needs and concerns of parishioners;

• grow in knowledge and awareness of what is already happening in the parish;

• encourage and support the good work of existing groups within the parish;

• evaluate information so that all decision making reflects the values of the gospel and the teachings

of the church

• set long-term and short-term pastoral goals for the parish;

• provide opportunities for parishioners to grow in their relationship with God and with each other;

• develop, implement and improve parish initiatives to assist parishioners’ continuing efforts to live as

effective Christians in society;

If you feel like you might like to be nominated to become as member of the Parish Pastoral Council, please contact the Parish Office.
