St. Laurence’s Parishioners’ Open Meetings
Parish organisation at St Laurence's
In May 2024, our Open Meeting approved new arrangements for parish organisation.
Our Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) is now the main focus for helping the Parish Priest with day-to-day running of the parish. The PPC has a membership of parishioners who are committed to regular meetings and to help get things done. Membership will be refreshed annually. PPC meetings will primarily focus on managing the work of the PPC and related core teams. Dates of meetings will be publicised, and parishioners who are not members are welcome to attend.
Parishioners' Open Meetings will remain as a venue to update the whole parish and enable broader discussion of significant issues or ideas. Open Meetings may be called as required, and there must be at least one Annual General Meeting per year.
