Bishops' plea for peace in Holy Land

Australia’s Catholic bishops have issued a statement condemning the war in the Holy Land.

Turning point

Some years ago I led a group of parishioners on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, a place of life-changing opportunities.

Pilgrimage leaves lasting impression

A pilgrimage to the Holy Land last year provided Croydon Park parishioner Cora Hoare with a “life changing” experience that has helped to refocus her life and strengthened her faith.

900 year tradition marches on

If you’re attending the Marian Procession later this month you may notice a group of men wearing black berets and dressed in white robes with a red cross, and women wearing black robes and veils who are providing an ‘escort guard’ for the statue of Our Lady.

Pilgrimage with a difference

Nine parishes of the western deanery have combined to sponsor a two week pilgrimage to the Holy Land in October, accompanied by Fr Maurice Shinnick who recently retired as parish priest of Croydon Park.
