Bishop Michael Kennedy is ready for his
new endeavour

Over 550 guests, including the Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Charles Balvo, Archbishop Anthony Fisher, and bishops from around Australia filled Sacred Heart Cathedral to witness the significant holy event.

"Bishops take on the office of teaching, sanctifying and governing, and Bishop Michael Kennedy, like his predecessors, will lead us with his God-given gifts," writes Teresa Brierley.
LITURGY MATTERS: Operation Installation is ‘done and dusted’! Now the work begins!

Status update: hopeful
Human rights advocates and refugees nationwide breathed a collective sigh of relief last month when the federal government announced an end to Temporary Protection Visas (TPV) and Safe Haven Enterprise Visas (SHEV).
