According to the directives of Canon 536, the Parish Pastoral Council is an arm of the parish with the mandate “fostering pastoral care activities”. Thus, members of the Parish Pastoral Council are responsible for encouraging, supporting and initiating action in our parish community which puts into practice the Church’s role in evangelisation.

An important part of parish life and leadership is the parish Pastoral Council. This group of faithful men and women are called to lead, above all by example. They provide the priests with wise counsel for ensuring the spiritual and pastoral vitality of their parish community, now and in the future. They work together with the priests and deacons with listening and receptive attitude. The Parish Pastoral Council explores the needs, hopes, and gifts of the parish.
