Pastoral Councils

Each parish has a Pastoral Council to advise and support the Parish Priest in the planning and provision of pastoral care in the parish. The Council comprises the parish priest, members of the parish pastoral team and elected and appointed lay leaders in the community.

Broken Bay Diocese have issued a guideline to help parish pastoral councils and parishioners understand the nature and role of the Parish Pastoral Council.

Parish Amalgamation

Naremburn, Northbridge and Willoughby Parishes have been on a journey towards amalgamation into one parish administrative unit. The target timeframe for completion of the process is June 2009.

Combined meetings of the Naremburn and Northbridge Parish Pastoral Councils are currently held four times a year. These meetings have been taking place over the last few years to help facilitate the bringing together of these two communities. The Willoughby Parish Pastoral Council will also join in this process over coming months as our journey continues in bringing all three parish communities under the pastoral care of one Parish Priest.
