NEW PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL: We welcome the formation of our new Parish Pastoral Council and thank the members sincerely for the training they have undergone over the past few months. The parish pastoral council is a leadership group through which priests and people work together as partners in furthering the mission of Christ in our own place. It does this through building up a vibrant Christian community that is rooted in baptism and marked by its faith, worship and service.
The primary ministry of the parish pastoral council is to collaborate in planning the way forward for the parish at this given time. It is primarily concerned with promoting action through pastoral planning; it is not immediately responsible for implementation of projects but ensures that the projects are carried out. In this way the council enables members of the parish to recognise their gifts for ministry and to use them for the good of the parish and its mission.
In our prayers today we wish the Council well and we look forward to working together for the benefit of all. Sr. Elizabeth Murphy, Br. Camillus Regan, Sr. Mary Dalton, Helen Cooper, Catherine Rooney, Geraldine Byrne, Martin O’Halloran, Larry Kavanagh, James Orbinski, Martin Savage, Seamus Murphy, Christy McQuinn, Eileen Good.
