Diocesan Pastoral Council
The Diocesan Pastoral Council (DPC) emerges as a key fruit following the closing of our Synod journey at our Called to Lead gathering (read more here), bringing together clergy and lay members from across the Diocese to support the Bishop in discernment and pastoral planning. Grounded in prayer, listening, and dialogue, the Council reflects on the lived experience of our diocesan community and helps shape priorities for mission and ministry. Informed by the spirit and insights of our Synod journey, it seeks to foster a future marked by shared responsibility, collaboration, and hope.
