Holy Cross Parish Pastoral Council<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>What is a Parish Pastoral Council?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The model of a PPC was redefined in 2002 with the aim of realising the essence of parish life through evangelisation, worship and word, community service, stewardship and leadership. These elements are what make a pastoral council \u201cpastoral\u201d<\/p>\n

What is the role of a PPC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The agenda of a Council is primarily to research, consider and propose for action those matters considered to be truly \u201cpastoral\u201d. The Council will foster the mission of the parish which is grounded in the mission of Christ.<\/p>\n
