About the Diocesan Pastoral Council

The Diocesan Pastoral Council is a vital institution that promotes the active participation of the laity, encourages their co-responsibility in the mission of the Church, and strengthens collaborative ministry throughout the Diocese.

The Council is composed of Catholics, including members of the clergy, religious institutes, and especially laypersons representing various regions, social conditions, professions, and apostolates within the Diocese.

It should include individuals from all categories of Christ’s faithful who are in full communion with the Catholic Church (cf. can. 205) and are noted for their strong faith, good morals, and prudence (cf. can. 512 §3).
