“The parish is the presence of the Church in a given territory, an environment for hearing God’s word, for growth in the Christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration.” Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium
Your parish is more than a building or a boundary on a map; it’s a home, a family, a community of communities. It’s where the Good News is received and shared, where people give their time and talents without ever feeling like outsiders, and where anyone weary from life’s journey can find rest and healing.
Every parish is guided by its priest and supported by a Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) and Parish Finance Committee (PFC), made up of elected and co-opted members who help carry out the parish’s mission with the wider Diocese.
