The Pastoral Area Council is to meet on Wednesday 29^th of May at 19.30 in Sixmilebridge Parish Hall. Bishop Fintan has asked that each Pastoral Area establish a Pastoral Area Council. Its role is to reflect on matters of mutual interest to all the parishes in the Pastoral Area. It is hoped that this group will help develop greater levels of cooperation among the parishes in the Pastoral Area. Given that this group is not involved in the day-to-day management of parish life it is hoped that it will have time and space to reflect on new initiatives.
