Pastoral Council

The mission of the Parish Pastoral Council of St Monica Catholic Church is to support the Pastor in his proper role and offer counsel on pastoral vision and ministry in serving the mission statement of the parish.  

The Parish Pastoral Council is a body that has an advisory and consultative role with the Pastor of the parish (1983 Code of Canon Law, c. 536). An active, well-formed Parish Pastoral Council is a key element for promoting the mission of the parish in various forms of service, outreach, and formation, and assisting the Pastor with his responsibilities.
