The Archdiocesan Pastoral Council (APC) is the collegial body which represents the entire people of God - clergy, members of religious congregations, and especially the laity.
The Council functions under the authority of the Archbishop and offers practical conclusions on pastoral matters, so that the life and activity of the people of God may be brought into greater conformity with the Gospel.
