Parish Management

Holy Spirit Parish has adopted the Divine Renovation philosophy and as a result has established the following three team management structure:

• Parish Leadership Team (PLT), a small leadership team to work with the Parish Priest to facilitate quick decision making about day to day issues
• Parish Pastoral Council (PPC), a council to determine vision and strategy
• Parish Finance Committee (PFC), a council to handle financial, governance and asset management issues.

The responsibilities of each team are explained more fully below:

• The PLT is responsible for helping the Parish Priest lead, manage day to day issues, decide priorities. The PLT is made up of Fr. Jose, Dominic North-Coombes, Mary Ryan, Jacinta Bibby and Silvio Volombello. The team aims to meet every 2 to 3 weeks. Please keep them in your prayers.
