This Team was originally established by Bishop David McCall as the Ministry Team, to:

  • Keep an overview of the Pastoral Needs of our parishioners including home and hospital visiting and communion and follow up those whom we haven’t seen for a while.
  • Ensure that the spiritual needs of our parishioners are met. Liaise with visiting priests and arrange Holy Unction and funerals when required.
  • Encourage parishioners to stay faithful, keep attending, keep praying and to keep supporting each other.
  • Support the Pathways services.
