Parish Pastoral & Missionary Council
Our parish is served by a Parish Pastoral & Missionary Council (PPMC) made up of our Parish Priest, Assistant Priests and representative parishioners.
The role of the PPMC is to provide advice and support to the Parish Priest in the areas of pastoral planning, parish administration and ministry, and parish mission. Elections are held every 3 years.
A member of the PPMC serves as a representative on the Parish Finance Committee.
The Council welcomes ideas and issues from parishioners.
The Parish Priest is President of the PPMC, reflecting his role as President of the community, while Council meetings themselves are chaired by a chairperson elected by the members of the PPMC. The PPMC meets monthly.
Current members of the PPMC are:
·
Fr David Ranson (Chair)
