Diocesan Pastoral Council
The Diocesan Pastoral Council (DPC) is a key outcome of the 2025-26 Synod, bringing together lay people and clergy from across the Diocese to support the Bishop in pastoral planning and discernment. Guided by prayer, listening and dialogue, members will help shape the future direction of the Diocese through shared leadership, a commitment to synodality, and a diocesan-wide perspective that fosters communication, collaboration and the common good. Expressions of Interest have now closed, and applicants will be contacted regarding the next steps in the selection process.
