PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL

The Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) is made up of the elected representatives from the seven communities, representatives from the main associations of the parish and nominated members from the unrepresented areas of the parish. It also includes the members of the clergy and the Superiors of the Religious Congregations, who are ex-officio members.

 

As the Parish Pastoral Council begins a new year 2023-24, the SCC zones have new co-ordinators appointed.  This will help to get re-organised for better co-ordination and to create a greater awareness in the community. We have 7 communities. This has been effective from 1st June 2023.

 

The PPC meets regularly every first Sunday of the month after the 10.30 a.m. Mass. Duties and responsibilities include reporting/feedback on Parish and SCC activities, planning for future events and taking up issues that affect the Parish as a whole.
