Both the Parish Pastoral Council and the Parish Finance Committee have had their first meetings to elect their executive committees. I would like to introduce them to you, and their portfolio or area of responsibility. The members of the PPC are in the table below:
| Fr Bruce Botha SJ | President of the PPC |
|---|---|
| Niranjan Amerasekera | Chairperson of the PPC, in charge of catechetics and evangelisation |

| Beauty Mtonga | In charge of Youth Ministry |
| Vaughn Taylor | In charge of communications and liturgy |

Each PPC member will assemble a group of volunteers to help them with their particular portfolios, so the PPC members are effectively team leaders reporting into the leadership structure of the parish. The PPC will meet quarterly. The PPC Executive consists of Fr Bruce, the Chair, Deputy Chair and Secretary.
The PFC members, the Executive and their responsibilities are in the table below. Similarly, the PFC shall meet quarterly.
