The Guidelines deal with the roles and responsibilities of:Pastoral UnitModerators & co-parish priestsPastoral Unit CouncilLocal Mission GroupContinuation of existing finance practices within the existing parishes.It is a follow up from the revised structure initiated in the diocese from 2nd December 2018 where teams of clergy are ministering in pastoral units or collectives of parishes but existing parish identity is being maintained. The new units involve a number of parishes operating together, with two or three priests ministering together as a team to the pastoral needs of these parishes. Each of the priests is a “co-Parish Priest” and will be moving around the pastoral Unit, resulting in different priests saying masses in parishes week on week.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
