The St Mary's Parish Pastoral Council is the senior advisory body to the Parish Priest.
It provides an overview and review mechanism for parishioner ideas, views and issues to be addressed.
In addition to those appointed to it by the parish priest (Fr Jim Clarke), ex-officio members include the parish priests and a representative of the parish pastoral team.
Meetings are generally scheduled for every 2nd Tuesday of the month, but this may change from month to month if circumstances require.
