Following a long period of consultation, our new Pastoral Areas were launched at Pentecost 2006.

These pages offer an introduction to the Pastoral Areas - where they are - which parishes belong to which and will provide a forum for sharing ideas
about how communities are beginning to work together.

Resources and information about working together as Pastoral Areas will be added to the Departments for Pastoral Formation and Finance and Property as they become available.
