MINISTRY OF THE PASTORAL LEADER
The volunteer Ministry of the Pastoral Leader was introduced as a response to the changing needs of parish communities. The pastoral leaders work alongside the clergy and other volunteers in their parishes and pastoral areas, co-ordinating and supporting different aspects of parish life. On this Monday night (24th November) we will have an information evening for anyone interested in partaking in this course from our Parish in the Millstreet Parish Centre at 8.00p.m. Edel Fraser who has completed the Lay Pastoral Leader course will be in attendance and will outline what is involved and her experience in undertaking this journey. There is no obligation to commit to undertaking the course, but it will give you an opportunity to explore the possibilities. “So too there is a time for our spirits to be renewed”.
