Parish Pastoral Council

Mission Statement:

St. Mary's Parish Pastoral Council is a team of priests and laity, called to discern the spiritual and pastoral needs of the people of the parish.
The team strives to address these needs and foster spiritual values through effective dialogue and involvement of the whole parish. The Council gets its core values from the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.

'Simply reverence the Lord Jesus in your hearts, and always have the answer ready for people who ask you the reason for the hope that you all have.'   (1 Peter 3:15)

EASTER CEREMONIES 2008:   The Parish Pastoral Council reviewed the attendance at the Easter ceremonies in particular the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.   The decision was made that only one Easter Vigil Mass will be celebrated.   This will take place in St. Mary's Church & the Dawn Mass will continue to be celebrated in Coosan.  This decision will be reviewed again in three years time.
