Parish Pastoral Council

Parishes in the Diocese have been asked to establish Parish Pastoral Council.

This Councils’ fundamental task is to discern the pastoral needs of our Parish and explore ways to support the priests of the parish in responding adequately to those needs.

With this in mind, a Pastoral Council and a Finance Committee will be established in our Parish soon.

We welcome suggestions, via e-mail, as to who would be suitable parishioners for these important roles in assisting the priests in planning for the future of our Parish.

Baptismal Team

We welcome volunteers for our Parish Baptismal Team which we hope establish in the next few weeks.  (Thanks to those who have already volunteered).

Please pop into Fr. Brendan after Mass if you wish to get involved or contact Carol in the Parish Office.
