Abstract

This theological article explores the multifaceted role of the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) within the ecclesiastical realm, emphasizing its indispensable responsibility in managing, serving, and nurturing the parish community. Grounded in the rich traditions of the Church, the PPC stands as a linchpin for fostering spiritual growth and community cohesion. The study addresses the pressing need to comprehensively understand the theological significance and practical implications of the PPC's role. It deepens into the challenges faced by the council in modern contexts, questioning how it can effectively navigate contemporary dynamics while remaining true to its foundational purpose. Employing a theological lens, this research combines historical analysis, canonical exploration, and case studies to illuminate the PPC's evolution and contemporary challenges. Drawing from primary sources and real-world examples, the article seeks to provide a holistic understanding of the PPC's mission and efficacy in fulfilling its responsibilities. The article concludes by underscoring the PPC's pivotal role as a spiritual shepherd, emphasizing the importance of collaborative leadership, strategic planning, and pastoral care in fulfilling its mandate. It envisions a renewed appreciation for the PPC as a dynamic entity, integral to the vibrancy, service, and spiritual flourishing of the parish community.
