PARISH PASTORAL COUNCILS
Our Parish Councils will be meeting in the coming days. Their work is vital in our parishes at the moment as we plan ahead for our liturgies, finance, and plan for the future where we have less and less priest available. If you have any item which you would like discussed please contact our Parish Secretary, Orla, or your local chairperson for ideas and suggestions in enhancing our parish communities. We thank all on our parish councils for all they do to keep our parishes alive and vibrant.
