Our Parish Pastoral Council

The purpose of our Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) is to enrich the quality of parish life and provide opportunity for parishioners to:

* Proclaim the good news of God’s love throughout the world
* Invite more people into the community of disciples
* Encourage the whole community to grow in holiness
* Transform the world until the justice, peace and love of God’s reign prevail
* Build community, serve the people of God in the parish

To work together with the Parish Priest and Pastoral Assistants, to set clear goals and to help achieve the parish general mission.
