Advisory Groups

The archbishop consults with many groups in the archdiocese. Each group is guided by terms of reference and by the Church's own legislation, called Canon Law. Members of the group are usually appointed by the archbishop with some exceptions. These groups reflect the collaborative nature of the diocesan decision-making process.
