The Parish Pastoral Council is formed of members from each village or zone.
When the village elects a member for 5-10 families, those members elect their leader who becomes a member of the PPC.
The Council can guide the parish priest on certain secular issues, but the PPP mainly acts an executive body for the Pastoral Ministry.
It is NOT a decision making body, but their views are always taken into consideration.
They must meet once in a month in their zone and guide other leaders to implement the projects coming from the parish council, the BCC or from the Diocese.
The members must first attend all the sessions of formation as to know what is a “parish”, what is the role of the PPC, what is Christian leadership, and even develop their communication skills.
Those who do not go through proper formation could be a liability rather than an asset.
Above all else, zeal and enthusiasm and their collaboration for the Church work is vital.
We have a 30 member council that meet to discuss issues and to prepare a plan of action.
