The PPC consists of the Parish Priest, the Parish clergy, the Superiors from the two Convents,elected members from each of the Small Christian Communities and elected Representatives from the active associations within the Parish. Guidelines issued by the Archbishop are followed for the constitution of the PPC.
The PPC is a representative body of the Parish involved with an ongoing formation process in the pastoral care of the lay people. The Council does not deal with acts of administration which are distinct from pastoral policies and planning.
The meeting of the PPC is held on the first Sunday of each month to discuss items on the agenda which include items such as forthcoming Church festivals/ events, programs for Parish and programs promoting gospel values.
Following are some of the pastoral activities which could constitute agenda items for the Parish Pastoral Council:
