The Parish Pastoral Council

The purpose of the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) is to promote and support the evangelising, worshipping and caring mission of the Parish. Faithful to the Church’s teachings and working in collaboration with the Parish Priest, the PPC helps foster the spiritual and pastoral life of the parish.

As a consultative body, the PPC provides wise and constructive counsel to the Parish Priest to whom the pastoral care of the Parish has been entrusted by the Archbishop. The PPC achieves this through consultation with the Parish community, communion with the Archdiocese and its plan for mission Go Make Disciples, and by studying the pastoral realities of the Parish.
