Pastorals and Ministries
Serving God in the Community
Pastoral care and ministries are concrete ways of placing our gifts at the service of God, the Church and our brothers and sisters, helping the Catholic Community in Ennis to live his mission of welcoming, evangelizing and serving.
What are pastorals?
Pastorals are service groups within the community that help the Church to carry out their mission. Each pastoral has a specific function, but all work towards the same goal: to bring people closer to God and to strengthen community life.
Some pastorals help directly in the celebrations, others take care of the welcome, communication, training, solidarity, young people, families and other community needs.
To serve in a pastoral is to transform faith into action, putting time, talents and love at the service of God and of our brothers and sisters.
Our pastoral mission
Many gifts, one community
Each person has different gifts. When these gifts are put to service, the community grows, organizes itself better and becomes more welcoming, missionary and alive.
Why are pastoral care important?

- 2They welcome new people and strengthen the bonds between members.
- 3They collaborate so that the masses and meetings are well prepared.
- 4They promote evangelization, formation, prayer, charity and service.
- 5They offer opportunities for each person to put their gifts at the service of God.
Service with a spirit of mission
In the Church, to serve is not just about doing tasks. To serve is to participate in the mission of Christ, helping the community to be a sign of faith, welcome, unity and love.
Therefore, all pastoral care needs to be lived with prayer, humility, responsibility, communion and joy.
