Council Committees

We have five Parish Council Committees at St Michael’s. They enable the Council and parishioners to do all they can to lessen Fr Tony’s workload.


For more information or to volunteer, please contact the Committee representatives listed, through the Parish Office.

This includes a free, confidential social services program with a registered social worker (a parishioner). The committee coordinate Holy Communion for the elderly Ministry with home visits to infirm parishioners. Foodbank donations for St Vincent de Paul Society are managed by this committee.
