An integral part of the ministry of members of the Office of Church Life & Mission is to respond to the needs of Parishes in isolated areas. This involves working with communities respecting and nurturing the ecumenical spirit that characterizes rural Tasmania as well as acknowledging the interconnectedness between Church and local council structures.

The overall aim is to provide –

• Support for people in isolated areas
• Opportunities for people to engage in adult faith formation particularly in the areas of pastoral care, faith education, spirituality and liturgy together.

Ministry in these areas involves responding to the needs and aspirations of the people and supporting them in their various leadership roles.
