Proposal for a Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) and Core Teams
Our Parishioners' Open Meetings in November 2023 and January 2024 approved proposals to establish a Parish Pastoral Council.
Summary of process:
- Parishioners were invited to express interest in joining the PPC and/or core teams during January.
- We drafted a constitution for the PPC. Progress was shared at the January Open Meeting. Feedback is welcome. Details.
- Pilot core team meetings took place during February, and a pilot PPC meeting in April.
- We aim to finalise team memberships and processes, and approve a final Constitution at the Open Meeting in May.
More details of the PPC and Core Teams, including proposed membership, can be found here.
