The Parish Pastoral Council is a representative body whose primary function is to set the vision and plan to make the life and activity of the parish ever more closely conform to the Gospel. It consists of the Parish Priest along with a team of parishioners chosen by the parish community.

The Administration Team ensures the day-to-day life of the Parish runs smoothly.

The word ‘liturgy’ is used to describe the common public prayer and worship of the Church. The Liturgy Committee monitors and advises on the liturgical needs of the parish including procedures, music, personnel, areas of emphasis and areas of neglect. This includes long-term planning for different seasons of the Church (Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Ordinary Time and Feast Days).

The Events Team assists the Parish Pastoral Council, Liturgy Committee and Health & Safety Committee in the practical logistics of any large events at St. Anne's.

St. Anne's Manurewa is committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy environment for its parishioners, visitors, volunteers and employees. The Health & Safety Committee sets and reviews health and safety objectives, identifies existing and new hazards and reports any incidents or injuries to ensure all contributing factors are identified and corrected.

The Finance Committee serves to advise on the administration and stewardship of the parish finances, budget and resources (including buildings, property and other assets). It accounts for these to the parish and Diocese annually.
