Hello from Father Michael, Deacon Vince Barclay, Sister Kathleen Keenan and the Parish Office
In our daily mission as baptized Christians, may the love of Christ push us toward the peripheries of our societies to meet our brothers and sisters who have been cast aside and abandoned, to show them the Lord's tenderness.

The future of Calvary Hospital: will we make it happen or watch it happen?
Archbishop Prowse has issued a statement opposing the ACT government's decision to take over Calvary next month:

All Canberra Catholics are urged to stand with the Archbishop and defend Catholic health care and Catholic health carers against the clear intention to take our values out of our health system.
