INTRODUCTION
Following a Training weekend at Ards, Co Donegal on 21 – 23 October 2011, an introductory meeting was held on 6 December 2011 to discuss relevant aspects of parish pastoral care. The results of the recent parish survey will be the basis for taking forward issues. The PPC does not work in isolation; it will liaise with all stakeholders within the parish in an effort to utilise all available resources/expertise within the parish.
The minutes from the Parish Pastoral Council meetings are updated to the website as soon as they are received at the parish office.
