The Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) exists to further the kingdom of God by reflecting and acting on the needs of our faith community. The PPC endeavours to discern the pastoral needs of the parish and sets direction for pastoral activities. This is not done in isolation, but by consulting widely within the parish and looking to the broader diocesan direction and pastoral priorities. It is representative of the parish, and not individual parishioners pursuing their own agendas. It is an essential forum for our Pastor.

The purpose of the PPC is to facilitate the involvement of all parishioners as active disciples in the work of the Church by:

• discerning the needs of the parish
• preparing strategies and plans to meet the community's pastoral needs
• facilitating and monitoring the implementation of any strategies and plans
• providing a focus for effective communication and co-operation between the parish community, neighbouring parishes, diocesan agencies and other relevant churches and community groups
