Ministries

As part of our Parish community we invite you to take part in some of the liturgical or pastoral ministries that support the services we provide.

Liturgical

All ministries occur on a regular roster basis

  • Parish Pastoral Council (PPC): here at KBCC we have two pastoral councils for the two parishes; the PPC is charged with the responsibility of assisting and promoting the parish pastoral and apostolic works. Collaborates with the parish priest in communicating the mission of love and the values of Jesus

  • Visitation/Communion of the Sick: visiting the sick and the elderly in their homes or in the nursing home, usually bringing them weekly communion

  • Social Committee: KBCC social committees are very vital to the life of the parish. They plan and coordinate social events that contribute in friendship, engagement and community building

  • Maintenance Committee: looks after work that needs attention in and around the grounds of each Church, and any workplace health and safety issues that need to be reported to the Parish Office for action.
