What is a parish pastoral council in the diocese of Limerick and how do we support each other on our faith journey? -25th October 2015 (S05E48b)(Podcast excerpt)

Parish Pastoral Councils and how we support each other in our faith journeysNoirin Lynch is the Pastoral Development Coordinator for the diocese of Limerick and joins us on this weeks programme to speak about the role and support given to parish pastoral councils in the diocese of Limerick. It is now a requirement of local diocesan law that every parish has to have a properly established pastoral council along with a functioning finance committee and proper safe guarding procedures. Noirin shares with us on the supports that are there for the development of Parish Pastoral Councils which in turn means that PPCs can then support the many and varied ministries in the parishes. PPCs role can be summed up in the question asking are we supporting those who have taken on ministry roles in the parish. At the same time because a group has undertaken a particular role for the parish the PPC also tries to ensure that we as parishioners don't absolve ourselves of our duty to participate in that particular ministry as well as being welcoming open communities.The interview is well worth listening to as Noirin and Lorraine discuss the challenges that are out there but more importantly the many varied and different ways that we in Limerick can support each other through the resource that is the LDPC.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
