The PPC members are essentially representatives of SCCs and other Church councils,
committees and Church groups (see box). Those eligible to become members of the council
should: (a) be Catholic Christian; (b) be known in the Church for their commitment and good
reputation; (c) have shown signs of natural leadership in his/her family and community; and (d)
have been receiving sacraments.
However, exceptions to one or more of these requirements
may be made by the father in charge, based on pastoral reasons.
The functions of the PPC are as follows:
1. Assisting the Church’s apostolic work in evangelization, sanctification, charity, social
work and catechesis,
2. To enhance communication from different levels of the Church to the faithful and vice
versa,
3. To formulate pastoral and physical development plan for the Church,
4. To assist the Priest in Charge in Church administration
