This Assembly represents the whole parish. By its very nature every parish is missionary – Pope

Frances writes “ in virtue of their baptism, we all have become missionary disciples. A missionary

Parish is a community called upon to be open to the Holy Spirit, so that the Good News of Jesus

Christ can be known to all through welcome, engagement and outreach”

In the light of the Popes words the P.P.A. are calling on all parishioners to pray to the Holy Spirit to lead us all closer to Jesus in our families and parish community — Please keep the members of the

P.P.A. in your prayers as they begin this important work. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to one of the members.
