Parish Pastoral Councils
Parish Pastoral Councils are gathered by various
means and in various forms in Catholic Parishes throughout Australia.
They all have the single purpose of ensuring that the local church community,
from among which they are called, has every possible opportunity to carry
forward the mission of Jesus Christ.
Resources
Many resources are available to assist with
the formation and development of Parish Pastoral Councils. Diocesan resources
are particularly affirmed as the primary source to which Parishes might
turn.
Prayer - Formation
Prayer is an expression of our realisation that
God and we share this experience of life together.
Question Box
From this resource, we hope a national discourse
on Parish Pastoral Councils may develop.
