Parish Council Workshop | February 6, 2025
Walking together as a Synodal Church
Don’t Miss it!
This will be the final workshop we will offer on PPC Basics for Winter 2025. As we move
toward “We Are His Witnesses” (pastoral conversion: a vision for the future of our
Archdiocese) Parish Pastoral Councils will play a major role. All parishes will need to have
trained council members for planning and visioning.
Parish Pastoral Council Basics
Presenters: Sr. Donna L. Ciangio, OP and Melissa Else
Parish Pastoral Councils are essential to parish life in assisting in developing the mission of the parish and planning for the future. This workshop will look at the purpose of Parish Pastoral Councils, how to form them, ways to do practical parish planning, and best practices of successful councils and parishes and networking with other PPC’s from around the Archdiocese. The workshops will help you improve your already existing councils, orient new members, or assist you in starting a council.
Who should attend: Pastors, staff, key leaders, and already formed PPCs who need a refresher or have new members, or those preparing to start a council.
Thursday, February 6 • St. Joseph of the Palisades, West New York
Workshop will take place from 7-9 PM with light refreshments
It’s best to attend when your PPC members can all be together.
Bring your experience, best practices, and questions.
