Parish Pastoral Council

Tub

In 1986 the first Pastoral Council was formed in Firhouse, when the then Parish Team (Fr. Con Sayers, Fr. John Dumphy and the parish sister Fionnuala O’Sullivan O.P.) invited parishioners to a Parish Pastoral Planning Meeting.

At that meeting the Team cited the Decree on the “Apostolate of the Laity” of Vatican II as the reason why the laity by virtue of their Baptism and Confirmation should play an active part in working with the priests to promote the Faith Life of the Parish.  Following this meeting a group was formed to represent each area of the parish.  Down through the years a Pastoral Council has been elected every three years to look at, and act on the pastoral needs of the parish.

Today  twenty three years later the 8th Firhouse Pastoral Council under Chairperson Brian Murphy continue to work and share the good news of Christ to the people in Our Lady of Mount Church.
