Pastoral Council - Preamble

The Callan Parish Pastoral Council is elected at a Parish Assembly every three years. The present members were elected in October, 1998. In its constitution it declares:

We, the People of God in the parish of Callan, in union with each other, with our priests, with the bishop of the diocese, with all the members everywhere of the Church founded by Jesus Christ and governed by His vicar, the bishop of Rome, do hereby unite to form a Pastoral Council for this parish as recommended by canon 536 of the Code of Canon Law.

Aware that Christ has told us that without Him we can do nothing, we ask for the guidance of His Holy Spirit so that all our words may be spoken and all our works done in His charity and that they may contribute to the establishment of His reign.
