The Julian of Norwich Parish Council is a representative body. Each council member ministers to the entire parish community. Thus, the council represents, in a holistic sense, all the demographics of a parish; old and young, men and women, laity, clergy and religious people with divergent viewpoints, experiences and ethnic/cultural backgrounds.

We work together in an atmosphere and spirit of trust and openness, merging our expertise, insights and experiences to further the mission of Christ among all people of the community.

To best serve our community, we would appreciate any feedback you may be willing to offer.
