Pastoral Council

Parish Involvement – Pastoral Council

Working together the Parish Pastoral Council aims include: building good relationships; developing a spirit of prayer; listening carefully to the needs of the people of the parish; planning and deciding on a way forward; encouraging people to become involved; facilitating ongoing formation and training; communicating well; reviewing its work regularly and striving to being the eyes, the ears and the heart of the Parish.

Working together for this mission will require effective structures of co-ordination of all pastoral activities within the Parish. The Parish Pastoral Council is at the service of mission and evangelisation. It should facilitate the co-ordination of Parish services. It must also provide leadership in reaching out to young people and engaging them in their questioning about faith. Together we launch out into the deep, even if it gets us at times out of our depth and even into deep water

Together we can make our Parish a family with a unifying spirit; a family of God which is a welcoming home for all; a place where everyone can say "I belong here".

The Present Pastoral Council Committee membership includes: Chairperson: Finbarr Whelan, Secretary: Maura O' Connor, Members: Fr. Eugene Baker, Donie Carroll, Denis Cole, Kathleen Collins, Mary Corbett, Peggy Duggan, Dr. Michael Kennedy, Joyce Moynihan, Liam O' Keeffe, Lil O' Toole.

These members were elected during March 2016 and will serve a term of five years.
