23.01.2022 Robert Bellarmine was an Italian Jesuit and a Scripture and Theology teacher based in Rome, who became an archbishop and cardinal. He brought charity and moderation in ‘Counter Reformation’ discussions and in the Church’s responses to Galileo. He is best known for his writings, including commentaries on the Psalms and the last words of Jesus on the cross, as recorded by the Gospels. His writings helped people to understand that the real source of our faith is not merely a set of doctrines, but rather the person of Jesus still living in the Church today.

22.01.2022 Sixteen years after his death and forty-one years after he was ordained as Bishop of Sandhurst, Bishop Noel Daly’s legacy continues to provide relief to people in the Diocese of Sandhurst who are experiencing hardship through the Bishop Noel Daly Foundation. With this fund, the Diocese has a means to reach out and bless a person, a family, a group, a school, a Church or charitable organisation or a Parish in its midst."

14.01.2022 Bishop Shane Mackinlay in collaboration with the Bishops of Victoria has released an open letter to the Premier, which raises concerns about the unfairness and inconsistency in the numbers allowed for religious gatherings by comparison with other sectors in the current 'third step.' At the end of the live-streamed Mass on Sunday, Bishop Shane encouraged parishioners to make contact with their local members of State Parliament to express how these restrictions are affecting us as people of faith. The letter can be accessed via this link https://www.sandhurst.catholic.org.au//1732-an-open-letter

13.01.2022 The marginalised, the poor, the hungry, the afflicted responded to Jesus the itinerant preacher who carried no purse, who had no home, no paid employment. In a sense, he was one of them, he understood them. His care for the sick was extraordinary, particularly as sickness was regarded as a result of the victim’s sin. People flocked to hear him as they had not heard a message like it, particularly not from their own religious leaders. The lifestyle he followed was a living e...xample that the Kingdom of God is not about returning Israel to power, to confirming the high and mighty in their thrones and in their positions of power, but rather it exists wherever, whenever God's power is making love, reconciliation and healing possible. God's vision, God’s dream or will for our world is at work wherever people are faithful to the command that we love one another as God first loved us. The Kingdom of God is here. (Jim Quillinan, ‘The Kingdom of God is Here’, Along the Track, June 2014).

05.01.2022 (She was) facing a Church that was in many ways problematic and dysfunctional, but she brought this issue forward," Bishop Robert Barron said on his Word on Fire podcast.

05.01.2022 World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMR) Sunday 27 September, 2020 This year, Pope Francis has chosen ‘Forced like Jesus to flee’ as the title for his annual message to focus on the pastoral care of internally displaced people (IDPs), while understanding there are those who are also feeling ‘displaced’ as a result of the global pandemic. In the light of the tragic events that have marked 2020, I would like this Message, although concerned with internally displaced persons, to embrace all those who are experiencing situations of precariousness, abandonment, marginalization and rejection as a result of COVID-19. Pop Francis in his Message for WDMR 2020.
