Parish Pastoral Council 2019-21

Carmen Pelling - Secretary

I’ve been a member of the parish nine years along with my husband and three children. We find being part of the parish a blessing and love being a member of the community and Villa Maria School. I would love to give back to a place and people who have taught me so much also.

I am a wife and mother and our family is committed to living our faith in this parish. It has been a privilege to have served as a member of the previous Council and I have grown a lot through the journey.

I have lived in the parish for over 10 years and am a parent of two beautiful boys who attend Villa Maria School. I enjoy being part of the community and hope to grow in that connection.

Our family has been involved in the parish for almost 20 years. My wife Liz and my two lovely daughters Ciara and Saoirse attend St Peter Chanel, being involved in various ministries and roles of assistance. From being a Eucharistic Minister and Reader, to supporting our altar servers, collectors and welcoming ministry. We are very fortunate to have raised our children in such a wonderful, warm and caring community.
