My name is Adele Angel. I live in Alresford with my husband Stephen, three boys aged 12–15 yrs and a chocolate labrador. I am a part time technician in a molecular oncology laboratory at the University of Essex. I have been a parishoner at St. Monica’s for 27 years. This is my first year as pastoral assistant, I am enjoying it very much. I especially enjoy working with the young people of the parish.

Parish Pastoral Council
Parish Pastoral Councils are recognised bodies within the church structure as a vehicle for promoting the mission of Christ and ensuring that the life and activity of the people of God may be brought into greater conformity with the Gospel. The Parish Pastoral Council gives support and advice to the Parish Priest and encourages all the baptised to work together for the good of the whole community
The Parish Constitution is available here or as LARGE PRINT here
Richard Cronin, Chairman
The Parish Pastoral Council is concerned with fulfilling the mission of the Christ in the local community and attending to all that affects the faith life of that community. It is a conduit for communication both to and from parishioners and The Church.
About 4 times a year we meet up to discuss matters on an agenda and there will be an annual general meeting to which all parishioners are invited. As Chairman, I help pull the whole thing together.
