Ennis Parish Pastoral Council:
Ennis Parish Pastoral Council is a decision making body, composed of lay people, priests and other religious, who take co-responsibility for pastoral planning and pastoral care within the Catholic Church in the Parish of Ennis. The focus of the Pastoral Council is collaborative ministry, in other words all of us working together for the good of parish and sharing the responsibility. The role of the Pastoral Council is to confirm, refine and co-ordinate the policy making, planning and management of the Pastoral, Administrative and Financial affairs of Ennis Parish.
