Ponsonby Herne Bay Pastoral Council
The council has now been formed and is in the early stages of assessing standing committee members and activities. Watch this space for further details.
If you have any queries or suggestions please contact the chair, Catherine Perry, perrykit55@gmail.com
The Ponsonby Herne Bay Parish was created in December 2017 when the separate parishes of Sacred Heart, Ponsonby and Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Herne Bay were melded.
Herne Bay’s parish priest of 15 years, Fr Rory Morrissey, is the parish priest and he attends to each church. He is assisted by parish co-ordinator Eddie Eyre, part-time administrators in each church centre, a finance team, pastoral team, and administration team.
There is further assistance for Masses from priests and students at the nearby Holy Cross Seminary, the neighbouring John Vianney Home for retired priests and priests who live in the area.
For all pastoral matters
