Chittagong Archdiocese has a specialized team named “Pastoral Service Team (PST) which was initially formed in 1983. The initial task of this team was to plan and execute different formation programs in the diocese. In 1996 after the formation of different commissions in Chittagong diocese PST became an animation body for the commissions and the parishes in order to guide their activities according to the pastoral plan of the diocese. Till 2013 the headquarter of this PST team was situated in Oriental Institute of Barisal.
