The remit of the Parish Pastoral Council is to work co-operatively with the Parish Priest, Parish Team and the parishioners to assist the entire parish community to achieve the mission of the Church in the local community.

The Parish Pastoral Council is accountable to the parish community for its work and will give high priority to ensuring regular, effective and timely communication with the parish. The Council agreed a communications strategy in June 2006; [click here] to view a copy. Unconfirmed minutes of the Council meetings are posted on this website as well as in the Church porch as soon as possible after each meeting. To view copies of minutes [click here].

The detailed guidelines for the working of the PPC are included in the PPC Handbook. To view a copy [click here].

The programme of work of the Council is primarily directed by the Parish Vision and the objectives set out in the Pastoral Plan. The Council is required to review and update the plan from time to time. To view the plan [click here].

The nine lay members of the PPC together act as an advisory body to the Parish Priest. They do this through a process of praying together; discerning needs and priorities; and sharing practical wisdom and experience in order to advise on major decisions which may affect the life and well-being of the parish.

The Council meets once a month apart from August.

The Council arranges a Parish Day once a year which is an opportunity for the wide range of parish organisations to show what they have been doing during the course of the year and for the Council to report on its activities and to listen to the view of parishioners. For the latest annual report [click here].

Any parishioner can make representations to the Council and should do so by either talking to a member of the Council or by writing to the Secretary, c/o The Presbytery, The Sacred Heart Church, Edge Hill, Wimbledon, SW19 4LU, or E Mail ppastoralcouncilatgmail [dot] com.

DEVELOPING THE PARISH PLAN  

You may have decided in the light of the recent announcement about the Jesuits withdrawing from the parish in 2013 that the Plan will not proceed. However, the exact opposite is true! A Plan is now even more necessary to help inform the Archbishop and incoming priests about the parish and its priorities as perceived by the laity and remaining Parish Team.  All parishioners are encouraged to participate in developing the Plan either by attending meetings or by sending their ideas to the Pastoral Council c/o the Bookshop.  Progress on the four priority areas identified by parishioners is as follows.

please help develop and implement the parish plan 2013 - 2015!

How can I help?

The Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) and the Parish Team want as many parishioners as possible to have their say and be involved in the Parish Plan, in whatever way they can. As a first step, please indicate your interest in helping with any of the priorities by ticking one or more of the boxes below. If there is a particular aspect you would be willing help with, e.g. Children’s Mass liturgy or promoting ecumenism, please give details.

Father McMillan will talk about the Parish Plan at Masses next weekend (29/30 September)

In March 2012 parishioners were asked to give their views on matters that needed to be addressed in a new Parish Plan. Responses were received from 67 people. A small working group of parishioners, in consultation with the Parish Pastoral Council, have subsequently developed these responses into the outline Plan below.
