Parish Pastoral Council

Chairperson: Jimmy Nolan

Communications Officer: Colin Kneafsey    email: chrcastlebar@gmail.com

All people living in the parish community, simply by virtue of their baptism, are fully and equally part of the local church.

The purpose of the parish Pastoral Council is to look after the spiritual and pastoral needs of the people of the parish. It consists of a representative group of the laity who, under the guidance of the parish priest, nurture and strengthen the faith of the community.

A Pastoral Council is distinguished from other community groups by its spiritual and pastoral focus, and is motivated by a desire to build up the Kingdom of God.
