Administration

Church Council:

This body is elected or appointed by the parishioners and Parish Priest to conduct the business of the Parish. The Council usually meets on the fourth Sunday of the month at 10.30am. Parishioners are welcome to attend the meetings, but cannot speak unless invited to do so.

A summary of the monthly Church Council meeting is found in the PC Digest.

The Council adopts policies from time to time.  You can follow a list of these policies by clicking here.

Parish Executive:

This group comprises the Parish Priest, the three Church Wardens and the Parish Treasurer, who meet between Church Council meetings to attend to Parish business.

Fund Raising Committee:

This group meets for GST purposes, as necessary. All fundraising activities in the Parish funnel through this group, thus ensuring that GST is not unnecessarily paid on receipts and also ensuring that GST is recovered on relevant expenditure items. For more information, please contact the Treasurer.

Faith Giving Committee:

This committee gives leadership in faith-giving (stewardship). We recognise that everything we have comes from God through his incredible and overwhelming generosity and love. We are called to respond through our generosity and love to God, giving of our time, talents, abilities and resources to God for the work of God’s Kingdom.

The clergy and secretarial costs, maintenance of buildings and resources, outreach and help for the needy are paid out of parishioners’ faith giving. Parishioners usually make their contribution during the “collection” in the Sunday service. Faith-giving envelopes are available, and direct-debit and Annual or quarterly gifts can be made. The Faith-giving Year runs from October to September and a program of education leads up to the new faith-giving year.

Commitment forms, along with details, are available. For additional information and for sets of envelopes contact the Chairperson or Parish Treasurer.
