Proposal for a Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) and Core Teams

Our Parishioners' Open Meetings in November 2023 and January 2024 approved proposals to establish a Parish Pastoral Council.

Summary of process:

Parishioners were invited to express interest in joining the PPC and/or core teams during January.
We drafted a constitution for the PPC. Progress was shared at the January Open Meeting. Feedback is welcome. Details.
Pilot core team meetings took place during February, and a pilot PPC meeting in April.
We aim to finalise team memberships and processes, and approve a final Constitution at the Open Meeting in May.

More details of the PPC and Core Teams, including proposed membership, can be found here.
