Church Core Group
The Core Group is a pastoral planning group made up of six representatives of St Teresa’s community who meet regularly with one of the priests. This group is formed from names proposed by the community and serve for a two year period. Their role is to be a channel of communication for the views and hopes of the community, which can then be fed into the Parish Pastoral Plan and work of the Parish Pastoral Council
There is a suggestion box at the back of the church where you can leave any issues you wish to be raised in the Core Group. Alternatively you can contact us via the Parish Office.
