To repeat a phrase we have used in relation to the Advent Parish Residential Retreat, “Expressions of Interest” are invited from parishioners and friends to join the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC). There are a number of vacancies. The PPC meets once a month, except in July and August, and, together with the Parish Team, prays, reflects and acts to address the pastoral needs of the parish. If you would like to know more about this, have a chat with any of the Parish Team or members of the PPC.

The Parish Pastoral Council is a partnership of priests and laity consulting and working together to enable the parish community to fulfil its vision and sustain what is a vibrant and caring community. The Council meets monthly from September to June, at 7pm in the Parish House. The following are currently members of the Parish Pastoral Council:-
