The Pastorial Advisroy Council (PAC) meets with Fr. Pat at least once every two months to provide advice, suggestions, support and to discuss matters related to our Catholic community at the Newman Centre.

You are more than welcome to speak with any of the members should you have a concern, suggestion, compliment or an idea that you would like to have placed on the agenda for a future meeting. Feel free to e-mail your comments, questions or suggestions to frpatodea@yahoo.com.
