Parish Pastoral Council

The Parish Pastoral Council is responsible for overseeing the organisation and running of the parish so that it continues to prosper as a Eucharistic community, in line with its Vision and Mission statements. The PPC meets three times a year and meetings are open to all parishioners. Because the active working groups are numerous they have been arranged in 'clusters' with a representative from each cluster in order to keep the PPC to a workable size.

Chair: John Honey

Secretary: Chris Parkinson

Executive Committee
