Pastoral Council
Central and West Reading Pastoral Council
The Pastoral Council (PC) consists of the parish clergy from English Martyrs, St.Josephs, St.James & St.William of York, together with a group of parishioners chosen from these parishes. They share responsibility for building a Christian community within the area and also identify the pastoral needs of the communities they serve and enable those needs to be met.
Meetings are held on a regular basis (approx. every 4-6 weeks) and minutes are posted on the Pastoral Council noticeboards in each of the 4 churches.
