Diocesan Pastoral Council
In communion with the Bishop, the purpose of the Council is to discern the diocesan pastoral strategy required for the proclamation of the Gospel and the promotion of Christ's kingdom. Membership of the Council consists of the Council of Priests and Lay Representatives. The Diocesan Pastoral Council has been reconstituted in the light of the Diocesan Pastoral Plan 'Go Out and Bear Fruit' to reflect the establishment of Pastoral Areas.
