The Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) in the Catholic Church in Nigeria is a vital advisory body composed of clergy, religious, and lay members of the parish community. Its primary purpose is to assist the parish priest in fostering spiritual growth, effective governance, and active participation among parishioners.

The council collaborates with the parish priest to plan and implement pastoral initiatives, addressing the spiritual, liturgical, and social needs of the parish. Responsibilities often include organizing evangelization programs, promoting social justice, supporting charitable works, and ensuring that parish activities align with the mission of the Church.

Members of the PPC are typically elected or appointed based on their commitment to the Church, leadership skills, and ability to represent the diverse groups within the parish. Their work reflects the principles of shared responsibility and collaboration, rooted in the teachings of Vatican II, to build a vibrant and faith-filled parish community.
