Invitation for new Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) members
New members are needed to serve their parish and community as members of the Parish Pastoral Council. Commitment to the Pastoral Council involves attendance at a monthly meeting, commitment to on-going formation and development and a willingness to participate in various activities between meetings. In previous years parishioners joined the pastoral council with very little knowledge of what was involved.
This year we invite those who think they may be interested in joining the Pastoral Council to attend a “Come and See” day on Saturday 12th September (9am to 4.30 p.m , light lunch provided)– this will be a day for discernment, a day to ask “is this for me?” For further information please contact the parish office.
