"The Church has repeatedly recommended the development of parish councils as a means of encouraging the shared responsibility of all the baptised in the life and mission of the Church."

Lissycasey Pastoral Council |

Our parish of Ballynacally/Lissycasey has two priests, Fr. Brendan Kyne and Fr. Joe Hourigan since Fr. O'Dea passed away 2/1/2016 and has two individual pastoral councils covering the Ballynacally and Lissycasey areas seperately.
The Parish Pastoral Councils are a recommended structure within the church concerned with the pastoral activities of parish life. They are made up of a representative body of the faithful and must include the parish priest. The Parish Pastoral Council shares the responsibility for building the parish into a vibrant Christian community that promotes Gospel values of love, justice and peace. It is a consultative body of leaders who actively seek the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and are guided by the teachings, laws and recommendations of the universal church and the local diocesan church.
